 Posted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 6:07 pm Post subject: Need Advice on some finding parts... |
 |
|
Hello Folks, I'm a bit new to this forum, but it seems like mayve the best place to ask...
I'm building an off-road bug that is going to have a hand made body simmilar to a Hummer I design,(out of steel instead of fiberglass). and I will be using a '68' Std bug chassis for the original donor.
The chassis I have has need of replacing the front axles,(both sides and including bearing sets), and brake backing plates,(at least the left side), and I'm thinking of running a set of brake drums that allow a match to the rear rims so that only one type rim pattern can fit all four whel locations.
The wrecking yards are a bit limited in my area and I'd rather replace any/all parts with new,(and as close to orginal german spec as possible)...
My question is, Is there a good Parts Catalog/Parts House that carries these,(above), parts that I can order from for a fairly reasonable price?
The main reason I am asking this is because all the catalogs that I have so far do not carry these specific replacement parts.
I'll also need a better supplier for the type of steel rims that I'm looking for, something similar to the triangle-cut spoke or the center-line types with the holes cut, that actually fit the VW bolt patts... any advise on where to look for this would also be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

when I was looking for backing plates online they had them listed online like that but they didnt really have them in stock and couldnt get them and Im pretty sure I called every shop I have seen online and in hotVdubs mag. and cip1. Most shops recommended me to go to mexico  or buy used.
but that was a few months ago
