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

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
