re: Compatibility between '68 and '71 Squareback

Neil,

Don't know whether '67 Beetle wheels will fit, but five stud Type 3s will on 
the back.  A friend of mine was bored one day so he decided to see if he could 
put a five stud '67 Fastback wheel (or was it a '66) on a '73 Squareback (or 
was it a '72) rear end.  He showed me the result and it looked Ok.  All he did 
was take the two hex screws off the drums on each and swap them over and then 
just bolt the wheels up after tightening the screws.  Well that's what he told 
me and I've no reason to doubt him.

Simple eh!  But then that's VW for you.  Now if only the fronts were that 
simple.  Of course you do these things when your retired and got nothing 
better to do after building your own aeroplane and spending the rest of the 
week flying it.

Regards,
