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

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

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?

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