I have a 68 Baja Bug that I want to convert from 4 bolt to wide 5 bolt wheels (rear is not a problem....front is). Without going to link pin suspension....is there a way to do it with stock VW parts or is there an aftermarket wide 5 brake drum that takes the small bearings. Thanks, Reg
'66 was the first year for balljoint, and stayed wide-5 until August
1967. couldn't say if they would work on a later chassis though.-- Howard Rose
1966 VW Beetle 1300 Deluxe 1962 Austin Mini Deluxe 1964 Austin Mini Super Deluxeuse 66 or 67 front drums with 68 front wheel bearings. bolt on.
My 68 Bay is wide 5 .
Dont know if that helps, but I know your can get 72 disks (4bolt) to bolt straight on .
