Need to buy a complete long axle, type 1/3 trans.... drum to drum....
later model beetle (67-68) preferred.....
Trans needs to be good, brakes can be crap, just need for a roller for now, can fix later...

pm me or call... phone number is in my profile
Thanks,
Rick

Back when You got the 59 from me I put a long axel tans in the back I have the ring and pinion that was in it in the garage it was still attached to the axels until a few weeks ago. So ya might wanna check it and see but i think its a 68 trans?

k.... might have a backup plan for the trans, if not.... hey Zen, you got a swing axle trans? :wink:

I bought a home built rail buggy (project) from Casey yesterday.  It's got a swing axle that's supposed to be a 67.  I assume it is cause it looks like it's never been cut and it had a 12 volt flywheel on the engine we pulled off of it.

'67 Type-1 tranny is the only long axle that  had wide 5 hubs. You cannot use 4 lug drum on this tranny unless you change the backing plates. I'm not sure about the axles.   Some late '65 and '66 trannys would accept 12 V flywheel. You just use a conversion starter bushing in the tranny

Or just use an Autostick Starter, Worked great on my engine that was on the Buggy.  Never worry about a bushing again.

Sure you can but a $3 or $4 bushing is a whole lot cheaper than a A.S. starter if you don't have one.
