Aircooled VW South Africa

To be sure, left side, yours touches on the passenger side, and mine on the driver side.....or do you mean left looking from the front.....

If you are standing in front lookin at the car it's on the right hand side

Mmmm.... Not the same side as mine. Could it be that the chassis has a twist? If it was the same side, I would say a design problem, but it is opposite.

Not trying to be pedantic, but just for those that do not know...

All forms of transport, even bikes, are looked at as from the back.

So when looked from the back, our passenger side is always on the left
And our driver side is always on the right,
Ergo, we have RHD cars, and the guys in Europe have LHD

This applys all over the world, even spare shops use this terminology.

So that means that the head light on the driver side is the RIGHT Hand head light

Hope this helps

Sure, I think we understood each other, we where just making double sure that there is no confusion. The question remains though, does anybody have experience with shock towers touching the beach buggy body's in the front, left or right, and any solutions?

I can not find some one here that can chrome the rims of my buggy. Die eenigste ouens wat ek wel kon opspoor sê hul moet die center uitsny en as dit klaar ge-chrome is weer terug weld en dis teveel werk en maak dit te duur..... verstaan nie daai een so lekker. Hoe lyk daai wiel as hy ge-weld is na hy ge-chrome is

I was asking around yesterday about the same thing. Got the same answer. Consider doing a black chrome spray job. I am planning to do it, and will let you know how it came out. I will start a new thread, so that we do not hijack this one.

Time for some updates
