Only to responses to this, but here goes.... If you pull off the rubber bumpers on the rear axle, you will find that they were held in place by little hollow steel mushrooms.

The mushrooms are just a few inches from the wheel cylinders. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
