    That was a super clever design, I love it!! I'm building a fastback baja and wanted to swap the front beam to a link pin style and this was perfect to see how it would fit on the type 3 mounts. Thanks for sharing.

    I wouldn't exactly call myself a purist, but watching you hack up that beam mount brought tears to my eyes!

      Well it was ether cut it off or the road would rip it off. 😊

    Nice work on the whole job! I did a beam on a T3 however I did it with a front horn from a T1. It set back into the tunnel about 12" and welded
    All around. Works beautifully.
    Nice work dude

    Dude! That was an awesome video!! I’m building a Squareback and ordered a front beam pretty much like what you built. Can’t wait to install it. Loved seeing the detail in your video. It will definitely help me on my install!! Thanks you!

    Nice job you can weld the gas tank with bronze sticks is safe you can put a/c acid inside of the tank and let run for 1/2 hour and wash really good let him dry and then you can weld it. Never short cuts. Good vibes all the way nice job I’m looking for the same car.

    Love to hear what you ended up doing with the tank. Thinking about doing the same cutting and welding a tunnel in. Please share!

      So once I put the tank in place the interference from the arm wasn’t too bad so I just took a rubber Mallet to the tank and clearance it a bit.

    Why doesn't this video have more views? Except for the annoying music, it is a great visual of a type 1 bagged beam mounted on a type 3.
    A couple of questions:
    Why does it need shocks mounted if you are using the airbag?
    Is a narrower beam or stock width?
    Where in the USA can this beam be purchased?

    • @fredio54
      @fredio54 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bags have no damping, shocks mandatory for comfort and safety

    beautiful project friend, I mounted a central bag on mine but the bar could not stand and twisted, what specification of the bar you are using? thanks

    Couldnt you make the bag placement on the other side of the beam and the top to be stationary? Make the bottom drop when you air up and then you wouldn’t have to cut the tank…

    Have you driven the car since you've installed the single bag suspension?
    How does it corner
    What does it do if only your right tire hits a Bump and not the left

    • @markthespark6459
      @markthespark6459  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      sorry for the late response but it handles great. it rides even nicer than I was expecting. one side bumps aren’t a problem the through bars have enough flex to absorb the shock just like a sway bar. cheers

    Did you hammer 🔨 or ✂️ cut tank.
    Talk to the motorcycle stunt riders for tank ideas. Mallet or air gun with soft "ball" tip.

      Between 40 and 60 psi depending on how I want to ride. Highway 60 cruising around on good roads 40.
