Body dimensions

The diagram of the basic beetle dimensions on this page (labelled: "Pictures all 007") has an incorrect link. Does anyone have the full size version of this diagram? I'd like to find the one for both Supers and Standards.

BTW this is the first new message of the paint/body forum....

I too need a pan drawing for a standard Beetle.

Goal is to modify a Rorty design chassis for a Speedster, using the front 1/2 from Rorty and grafting on the Beetle rchassis c/w VIN from the torsion tube back. I would go full on rorty but need to keep the VIN for registration.

I don't see body dimensions in my Bentley manual just wheel base (2400mm), and wheel alignment specs.
