|
|
|
Is there anyone in Brum who can help me swop over a front beam on the 69 BUg you see on the left???
The replacement has disks and have most parts all ready to do the JOb just need new disks and a few nuts and bolts. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm sick of my hi-rise front end!!
Thanks

Hi there
When was you looking to do it and where abouts are you? Do you have some where to carry out the swop?
I live in Great Barr and if the timing etc is ok I would gladly help.

i swapped mine the other week, most of the old parts can be used. the only problem i had is the old grease nipples dont fit the new beam
btw how much grease do i need to put into the new beam?

with replacement beams you often have to re-tap the holes and fit new grease nipples, as for the amount of grease, keep putting it in till you see it start to appear at seals

gave it a good tanking today mate! it's like having a new car can really toe it now the steering wheel doesn't wobble when you go over 40! lol
Bit worried about the steering box though makes some horrible creaking noises when dry steering whilst parking etc gonna take the one off the other beam just in case and swop it when I get the chance.
other than its frickin great! )

good luck fitting the steering box with the beam in place it's not so bad if you can get the arm of the splines though
