Not sure what it is, not stock for sure. Can he measure (mic) the two bearing fits? I might be able to figure it out from that.

Just talked to Kevin to get measurements and he said he went to the parts store and did some cross checking and found that a 67 bus inner and KP beetle outer works,,,,,,still don't know for sure if its been custom built ,,or what?

Marty,Those are "Wrightplace" spindles They were built in the 70-80's before "Combos" I have a set of them I took of my single seater that Was raced in the 80's and I still beat it up badly and no problems from them yet! Tell him to call McKenzie's or Kartec or Saco GermanAuto

If he can wait a few days I can get him the numbers off my brg's,,,let me know
p.s. I was also told years ago the were modified 356 Porsche spindles but I have never compared them,he might try them brg sizes

I have two sets of them. One on my buggy and a spare set that someone f'd up by cutting part of the steering arm off of the spindle. I was told that they are porsche 356B spindles. They are the same as beetle spindles except for the diameter of the actual spindle. I think you can even use stock k/l pin drums. I know they are tough because I've sheared the link pins a few times but have not damaged the spindles.

Rockrockets I flipped off of a rock high wall where coridoor x is passing through. The wall was about 60 ft high I made it to the top and was spinning going backwards and before I could stuff the clutch and hit the brakes it hooked on th epassenger side and started flipping. I will find out tommorow about the 356 bearings fitting I had to order them. I will post tommorow with the news thanks guys for all your help.
