Thanks. I ordered shoes and a spring kit from them a couple days ago. I'm undecided about the what bore size for the wheel cylinders I should get and forgot to order the axle seal kit, as well.

, the hubwill need a little material taken off so the axle nut can take the cotterpin. The Beetle IRS must have a shorter axle or wider housing, I guess.Donor car was a 1971 Squareback; target car is a 1973 Super Beetle. This is fun :)

How about under the back seat?
