I'm looking for the manufacturer of this front beam brace. Can anyone help?

That looks like a custom unit .... it also looks like you could probably adjust castor with that set up.

I saw pictures of a VW event in Germany and I spotted one on a vendors table! I originally thought it was custom, but when I saw that... hope springs eternal:lmao:

Wow thats a nice piece of kit. I'll have some of that if anyone finds out who's producing them :D

Very sexy for us Balljoint, (I typed BJ and it didn't look right) guys.....

How much adjustment do you think you could get out of this?

Whos car is this?
Im interested in how the coilovers are fitted on the front?
Cheers

DORIGTT June 19th 2008 08:42

I personally would like information on the entire setup on this vehicle!

What's the word? Any leads yet?

I've seen pics of that car on Belgian forums before. think the owner is German and the frond coilovers are from Remmele in Germany, couldn't say if that brace was custom or not but did read that that car crashed pretty bad on the Spa Francorchamps racetrack here in Belgium 1 or 2 years ago.

Anyone found the manufacturer of this?


Was looking through an old german book on tuning the beetle.

TDE I think made a similar brace, though not with the adjuster. This supported both tubes, as with the one in the top picture.

Nowdays all I can find is the kind that only supports the lower tube.

The machining and general shape of it look like the CSP Kafer brace parts. I did find a fixed position beam stiffener at CSP.

And another fixed unit at VeeDub Parts Unlimited.

Is this the car that ran 7J fuchs with silver lips and purple centers? I remember a small picture in Volksworld ages ago, with the front end stoved in after crashing of at a track. Porsche space saver bolted to the fuel tank :D

DORIGTT June 29th 2008 21:47

That be the one!

This car?

I`m very interested in this :)

has any one asked lanner if he could build it it looks like a fairly easy piece but it could be complicated also

I don’t speak German but if you go to the bottom of the Tafel catalog they have a pic of an adjustable one.

That one does not support both tubes, like the one in the first picture

redhot August 20th 2009 09:19

So Tafel-tuning and MBT engineering both have a beam-brace that`s adjustable, but only supports the lower tube.

Is supporting both tubes needed? I have seen some pictures of original VW parts that supports both tubes, perhaps a link-pin model. Did they some time change to a single-support version?

volkdent August 20th 2009 17:54

You know what? I think if enough people were interested, Lanner at VDub Engineering could probably cook up the 2 tube version.
