So sexy. Those wheels are great on there. What would be the difference in going with a link pin vs ball joint? I'm thinking of doing a type 1 beam and i'm not sure which to go with. Is your single bag in the center or on one side?

i guess there is no such big difference. i know on beetles you can have issues with the joints when going really low. but using it at type 3 will also work pretty good.

the bag sits in the center:
