this is from my BD build but should be the same issue on a 55 Wolfsburg.

cleaning threads, M18x1.5.
We were discussing how the rear frame horns are pointing down from the chassis level. if you look closely you can see how the tap is not perpendicular to the actual frame horns. it is rather the same angle as the horizontal chassis planes. the frame horns definitely pointing down from factory.

actual pics of my Sept 55 WB panel.
dimensions are not the same L/R measured to the brake hose bracket.
rather measure total length back to the torsion bar tube.
Be aware of angle between bolts and frame horns as mentioned before !
Good luck with your project and let's see some pics please!

Awesome, thanks for the help!!
The Projekt will be presented in a build thread later on.
This is maybe one of the worst 1955´s ever saved...

No it has been repainted, I think it’s L21 gray from factory
