if it has McPhersons, it is indeed a superbeetle...
Supers in 1973 got the curved window.....yours is just an early super. I need some metal off the back of it if you have a saws all........I can take a pic of what i need. I was going to try to fab, but i think it would be easier to cut and paste.......
They do make aftermarket McPhearsons for std bugs.
Big uproar about them as the take all the suspension wieght and load it all onto the bottom shock mount !
Rich
don't mistake a coil over *shock* for a strut....
True - but thats my point - people do !
Could be thats what is on this bug ?
Another big assumption is , all supers have disk brakes and 1600 engine.
Rich
I wish my Super came with disk brakes............
in the US market every superbeetle had the 1600cc engine, but no beetles, super or otherwise, came equipped with disc brakes...
Ther you go - thats my new thing learned for today !
Seems they got the combo wrong ! more power but no disk brakes.
Here the 1303s (see the little 's') has 1600 and disks, without the s it has
1300 and drums.Rich
You can add them, but I think you should change the master cyclinder.
I have added them to my standard...big difference in stopping power. But i just adjust every month for my super.
