67 Gia front end VS 68 Type1 Question

This is a trick question, right? The axle beams are the same, although the spindles of course are different. AFAIK, the track width was kept the same for both cars.

BTW that means the Ghia front end with spindles is a bit wider than the Beetle.

Sorry to screw up the earlier post, I should have mentioned which way the width varied.

A Follow up to my follow up.

I am actually guilty of having the ones off of a 71 KG on my 71 Std Beetle...............They track differntly and I never have aligned the front end either................So I dare say i couldn't tell you if they were wider or not,.................Just different.
