Franklin vw Werks has them but they ain't cheap. $550 for a pair and you have to send them urs as cores. But they look real good and built to last. Don't really know of any others doing them. But if you find someone else doing them let us know. I need soom as well.

Thanks Wavepimp. I'll check with those cats. Do you happen to have contact info? I'm all east coast, and I'm figuring these are sunny Cali fellas. I'm also figuring from the tag you get your surf on west coast style. Am I correct? any good swell lately? Man I'm in Wilmington, NC, like 5 hours south on the coast below Hatteras. It's COLD and Flat. Bogus Take it light -K-

Hey saltfactor, no I'm on the third coast, TEXAS we may not have the best waves in the world but we sure got stoke out here on the Gulf Coast. My old room mate back in college years used to live at Hatteras, he always spoke highly of the place. One time him and another friend got a new board and we were falt here, so they loaded up drove 23 hours surfed a day and came right back. CRAZY!!!

Hey David,, still trying to pass this trip by the ole lady. Man she is kinda like NO, since we just had the lil baby. I may not be able to swing this one.

also does that volksfab have a site or a number to reach them? that price sounds alot better than $550. A lil more my budget.

Hey there James. You guys have a fine reputation for loads of stoke. Did you guys score off those gulf storms or was it just insane and out-of-control? Good to hear from a fellow waterman. It's still cold and flat here. Hey that volksfab site is, shall we say spartan? I checked it out,...www.volksfab.com......creative huh? All that is there is a phone #360.874.2679

Hey Saltfactor, Yeah we got some pretty good days of waves with those storms. Caught a place called matagorda one time as the swell started comming in. Nice lil shallow beach break that gets hollow on the right conditions, That day was all right! Hope you guys get some waves soon. I can't wait till our water warms back up. Last year this time I was in mexico surfing passcuales in trunks!!!! Had a new lil baby so no surf trip for me anytime soon.

David I'll keep pressing the ole lady about cali, but if it happens my lips will be so swollen due to all the ass kissing I had to do to swing it. Wish me luck, I'll need it

e-mail me for pricinag on your specific project but generally $350-450 for late bus spindles with cores, I don't have time to scavenge wrecking yards for cores so I sell exchange only

we also build
-straight axle kits
-narrowed bus and beetle beams
-flipped 55-67 bus spindles(or get them from jeff vidal)
-disc brake conversions for 944 porsche to bus. other custom apps too!
all products are TIG welded where needed with awesome fit and finish.
