I have a type 2, IRS bus rear end in the rail I picked up but Im wanting to convert to the 5x205 pattern. I think Im missing something but is the conversion as easy as axles and hubs (and drums)?

Probably just changing drums will do it.....

Most buggies with Type 2 transaxles use a sedan based suspension. Late bus suspension and drums on a rail would be unusual. Do you have 4 lug sedan drums now? If so, these should bolt straight on. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1591040

Well hell thats awesome! I do indeed have the 4 lug drums on there now.

If it has a ball joint front end, 66-67 5 lug drums will bolt straight on up front
