 Posted: Thu Apr 17, 2014 7:25 pm Post subject: Mustache bar |
 |
|
Got a friend with a 73 Westy, he's putting an engine in out of a 77 or a 78.
Ultimately trying to determine if the mustache bar is different from an early type IV bay to a late.
He currently has the mustache bar but none of the brackets. As I recall, the earlier type IV bay brackets were triangular. My 77's are square. Is there any difference other than the shape? Without having a set of triangular ones, it's tough to figure which are needed. Will a set of square late brackets fit his 73?

i think it will fit, but may need to drill some new holes. a T4 expert will be along shortly to confirm.
please hold. all T4 experts are busy helping other posters. your question will be answered in the order it was received...

I'm not aware of any difference in type 4 mustache bar brackets for bay buses, or the bars for that matter, sure you aren't getting something confused with a Vanagon?

| The bar will fit. some have 3 holes in the hangers, some have 4. You may have to do some drilling |
