HOW CAN WE HELP?

We offer a range of repair, refurbishment and supply services to help you keep your Beetle or Karmann Ghia on the road.

Steering boxes are available as outright purchase, service exchange or, if you prefer, we can refurbish your own. That applies to Pre ’61 vehicles, Post ’61 as well as 1302, 1303 and Type 34 Razor Edge.

Gearboxes follow the same services and whilst here we can carry out final drive and gear ratio changes to give better cruising speeds to suit modern traffic and larger engines.

King pins can be refurbished, link pin kits supplied and if you’re fitting a narrowed beam we can supply shortened and re-dimpled leaves and shortened track rods. For the later models we also replace ball joints.

Are you struggling to find early 4 bolt wheel cylinders why not let us rebuild your own?

If you need something else mechanical or electrical rebuilt or refurbished drop us a message, if we can’t help we may know someone who can.

Steering Box Refurbishment From £235.00
Gear Box Refurbishment From £595.00 + Parts
Spindle/King Pin Refurbishment From £395.00

POPULAR QUESTIONS

  • Should I consider using synthetic oil?

    Synthetic multigrade engine oils are great for modern engines but our 60 year old technology was designed for SAE30 and operates best with it.

  • What parts should be replaced on a service?

    Plugs, points, condenser, rotor arm, possibly the distributor cap but definitely the oil strainer and fuel filter.

  • Why does the gearstick sometimes try to engage reverse when I change down from 3rd to 2nd?

    Almost certainly the stop plate at the base of your gearstick requires adjustment or replacement
