Narrowed IRS Trailing Arms

We build a Narrowed IRS Rear Trailing Arm package for all VW Type 1, and VWs converted to Type 1 IRS (early bus, bug, ghia, type 3 and thing). Narrowed 30mm per side, allowing the use of wider wheels and tire packages, while maintaining stock mounting locations. Fits either drum or disc brakes, and uses a shortened axle which can be provided at an additional cost. Powder coated in your color choice starting at $695 exchange.

Porsche Valve Train Package

One of our more recent projects was a Valve Train Package for late 356 and early 912 Porsche, which included designing a valve guide from modern materials, sized to replace the 10mm valves with 8mm valves, allowing us to use a modern Beehive style valve spring and ultra light weight retainer.
