I have a 1968 VW Bay lowered on 17’s radars wheels I converted the beam to a link pin beam and rides great but now it rubs sometimes it’s not narrowed or tubed. I have been thinking about narrowing the beam two inches and tubing the wheel well. Any thoughts on this and if anyone has done it can you post some pictures. Another question doesn’t anyone know if there are pre made tubs out there for sale?

ThAnk you
John

Call these guys. They should know most people associated with lowering buses.

Is there any company or place that builds the tubs for the Baywindow bus to lower the front end?

Are you saying Wagenswest couldn’t help you with your question? What did they tell you when you called them?

Yep just text my buddy at Wagenswest. He said Cage66 is the guy. But he might be booked up awhile. Sorry they didn’t give you that information over the phone. Good guys over there at Wagenswest.
