Wagenswest started making these drop spindles many many years before the large companies came along and flooded the market with poor quality imported sketchy junk spindles. We still make them, with attention to quality and geometry, 2 things the other companies seam not to care about. This quality thing, is why Wagenswest has decided to stay small and focus on making parts that work good. We build these spindles in house and typically you can expect a 2 to 3 week wait to get a set after you order. THANK YOU!

Fitment is for type 1 and type 3 drum backing plates when used in the rear of a split bus.

These little spacers go in-between the cable liner and backing plate.

sold as a pair.

Send us your spring plates and we will make them static offsets with shock mounts!!

All our offset spring plates include offset shock mounts.

Offset spring plates enable you to lower the rear of your pre 1967 Volkswagen bus 3.5 inches by swapping the reduction gear transmission with a long axle type one or type three swing axle transmissions.

What you need to do the job.

#1 A set of offset spring plates.

#2 a 68 bug swing axle transmission or a pre 67 type 3 transmission.

#3 brakes if you use the 68 bug transmission you can machine a set of pre 63 bus drums to fit over the bug brakes or if you use a type 3 you can buy wide five drums.

#4 A pair of emergency brake cable spacers. https://wagenswest.com/partstore/index.php/1955-67-e-brake-spacers-for-t1-backing-plates.html

You will also need to take the bus nose cone off of the bus trans and use it on the bug or type 3 transmission.

By far the easiest way to lower the back of your bus.
