Beetle stub axles
Has anyone used or considered using beetle stub axles on a locost? Has it worked and are there any reasons it wouldn't work?
Projects projects projects, will I ever learn?

Zero KPI, steering arm height and finding a rack to suit, would be a fair bit of work to get good geometry. not to say it can't be done.

A genuine question as I know nothing about Beetle uprights....
why would you want to?
Just interested! Are they lighter? Cheaper? etc. etc.
Cheers,
James

Was just curious as much as anything else. As I'm using a BMW for a donor it doesn't have a conventional front hub setup. Was looking
around for options as to a front end to see what else could be used and as I'm building a couple of beetle based projects the idea popped into
my head as they are a more conventional styled hub carrier.
