You’re better off finding a beam.
FWIW, if you’re not concerned with it being exact, a Beetle beam is the same except for the reinforcements on the towers. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

Any ball joint beam (‘66 on) will work and is a direct bolt on. These should be fairly easy to source due to the narrowed beam trend.
You will need to transfer your spring packs, trailing arms, & spindles. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
