I've recently acquired a type 1 beam and am keen to do the conversion. I would like to see some pics of how people have done it in the past. I've seen some pics of using the end plates off a type 3 beam, also of using aftermarket beams too.

I'm wondering if you could just narrow a type 1 beam and use the type 3 mounts but keep the type 1 shock towers?

I'm interested in all options, so please fire away Smile

Thanks in advance,

Jay

not according to your title, you aren't....

BTW, you really should do a search on this, since this is one of the dead horses in this forum...

There are lots of threads and we like to keep things centralized in a minimum # of threads, one if possible.

Here's a longer thread I found to add to
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=439202

If anyone knows of "the best" Type 1 beam discussion thread, please PM me a link and I will add it to the Type 3 FAQ as I don't see one in there.
