Axle Question.

[Crogg]

You have a bus tranny and your putting in a type 1????? I would rethink this! Busses can go highway speeds! I only use bus transmissions in my builds. Try a taller tire!

The best way to find correct axle length, is to align CV flanges across from each other and take a measurement between center of flanges and subtract 1/4-1/2in for axle length you need.

What length are on there currently? If you're unsure you could take one off and measure it.

Some older posts suggest that the axle length is T-1 stock with stock T-1 CV's.

I'm using stock T-1 boxed arms with T-2 CV's & T-181 axles.

If I'm using the stock beetle irs and engine cradle with a t-1 transaxle. What length axles shafts would I need? I have stock ×1 trailing arms and bus cv joints.
