Hi all. I have what I think is a brazilian made replacement beam. I got it from a guy who says it was in his garage for 20+ yrs. Supposedly was bought for late model bug (unknown year) but never used. I got it cheap, but am wondering if it's the right beam to use on my 70 bug. It had a sticker on it W/ part no. 113.401.021.1. Google finds nothing on this number. :?
Any help is appreciated.

Hold it up to the beam you have. Do all the parts line up? If so then it'll work fine.

There were only two types of beams used on the bug for 60 years.
King/link ping beams shock towers went straight up, and the shock mounted to the side.


A ball joint beam's shock tower angles up and out, and the shock mount stud passes through the bottom of the tower.
