Does anyone know if the spacing of the axel tubes on a barndoor beam is the same as what is on a king and link bug beam? In other words if I change the mounting will it fit on a bug. Thanks Eric

The tube size is different, and the spacing is different.

I am building a repro kubel and want the lift to be as stock as possible. I had heard that barndoor busses used the same setup as kubels.

Barndoor spindles on the bug beam should do the trick
