Re: [T3] frt beam clamps

Tim,

Sorry, your question got lost in my backlog after you asked for a photo, which 
I never got around to taking. I have a good pair here that I can sell you. Your 
web site indicates that you are in Canada (it would be a help if you showed 
this in a sig file at the end of your emails) so shipping will be a little more 
costly, but I could still sell you the pair for US$35, including shipping.

Note that the ones I have are for a stock type 3 beam to a stock type 3 pan. 
You mention that you wanted to put a type 1 beam in there. It's common for 
people to want to do this, but it's only because they aren't familiar with the 
type 3 beam. The type 3 beam is stronger than the type 1, and it includes, as 
part of the original design, a sway bar which is better than the add-ons that 
you get on later beetle beams. From '66-on, the type 3 beams came set up for 
disk brakes. Type 3 beams are readily raised or lowered without cutting or 
welding anything, although I don't like doing that to them. The only thing that 
the type 1 beam has going for it is simplicity and cheap brazilian 
replacements.

If you need any of the rubber snubbers that go around the type 3 axle beam, or 
that go above the clamps, I have those too.

sorry for forgetting you,

Jim
