Can anyone point me to some info on if and how this can be done?
I'd like to be able to replace or repair the slightly rusty...ok a little more than slight...shock towers on my 69 bug.
Replacing Shock Towers on a 69 bug

There are special "repair" plates made just for this. Requires expert welding. IMHO you're better off replacing the whole beam.
Search thru any VW parts supplier catalog for the plates.

I've checked, jcwhitney.com and cip1.com I can't really find anything. My brother in law is journeyman welder so I think he'd be able to do it.

Don't be so lazy. A goggle or yahoo search for vw parts will turn up plenty! You will have to go to the suppliers page and then look for a beam in the listings!

(Out of stock, but here's the part...)

I did look asshole, post the "google returned results" and show me the link.
Thanks, I was searching specifically for "shock tower" repairs. Also, the CS rep at CIP had no idea. Thanks.
I would be the asshole if I actually did your research. So go f*ck yourself
You two lovebirds need to get a room :)

f*ck em John, i think you are right, and i like your style!!!
Knob, go back to your hole...
Two more to people to add to my auto delete list. Thank God for newsgroup filters. You only have to listen to those with something to say. ;-) If you want to verbally abuse someone, that's fine with me, just send the abuse to the abusee! The rest of us don't need to read it.

most newreaders are designed very simple to be used by those with limited metal capabilities....you should be able to figure it out....
and such a shame too...since at least twice a year i actually post helping folks........
Well my capabilities are somewhat limited. I try not to do very much thinking it gives me a headache. Then I just have to set down and take a nap to get rid of it.: ' )
but, but,but, i'm a nice guy....the rest of the time...
All this rhetoric because some dumb-f*ck can't spell Google or Yahoo
nearly as irritating as a dumbfuck that can't properly post to usenet, eh John?
.......I'm glad that I'm not an irritating dumbfuck who can't spell.
