I'm looking for a front beam for my '71 Westy. My steering column broke free :'( and I need to replace it obviously. Does anyone have or know of a donor bus that I can retrieve said piece from any assistance would be greatly appriciated.

I think I know where one is.  It's an early bay window Westy . . . I think it's either a 69 or 70.  Last time I saw it (a couple of weeks ago), it was stripped to the shell, the rear suspension was cut out from under it and it's headed for the scrap yard . . . but it still had a front beam.  I'll check and make sure it's still there.

Hummm . . . don't guess that one will work then, but I might have access to a later beam too.

I do, I do need to get the old girl up and running again. Give me a call to discuss details (719)964-8003 Thanks Zen

I am new to this site and need a little help. I can not figure out to save my life how to start a new post. I have 63 Beetle for sale and like to advertise here in Chattanooga. Any help is more than welcome.

Go to the Calssified, VW Auto section, look to the right, second header section, "New Topic".  Fire away.
