Hey Jason,
how's things. I've had to look at your video again man I'm half way through installing my Kafer bar kit in Betsie. And I've also added a few steps along the way.
Anyway thanks for putting this video out there it's certainly helpful.
✌️ Peace.
Glad you enjoyed it brother... those tabs weren't to hard to bend with my vise.
Bolt..... just a nail with ridges.
Nice and clean, is better to be safe than sorry
Yes, so far so good on the kit... really digging it!
Hey man Kevin here from Australia. Great video your install is looking the buisness. I asked you about running heater tubes from your video I rekin I can . Maybe someone else watching this has the answer.
Anyway stay well and stay safe.
✌ Peace man
Kevin with Coolrydes could probably help you out brother... hit up their site and send him an email. Or just email him here.

Thanks for the video.
No problem Shawn!! Love sharing with you guys!!
Aye jay you should leave the welding for an actual welder to fuse your so called gusset.. Those holes in your welds aren't a good thing.....
Those Welds aren't going anywhere, been a few years now, and they've held up well.
@@JWClassicVW I'm sure jus thot that it didn't match the rest of your car..all the time and money that you've invested in goose ..I jus thot that you'd have that part top notch like the rest of your car
Ohhh yeah... you are correct. I've replaced that awhile back and actually have a pretty sweet CNC'd unit being made right now that is going to be amazing!!!
Hey Jason How have you found the Kafer Bar after 4 years ... i'm looking at getting one for the my girl 66
Love the kit, makes a huge difference.
@@JWClassicVW cheers Jason appreciate the info
Mannn your putting in work ! But it looks amazing.. I hope your staying safe, things are getting crazyyy
You know it... always working on my girl!! Lol and yes getting crazy!
Love the whole series. I'll let you know. A solid mount WILL transfer lots of noise and vibration throughout Goose.And you will feel it.
Moe
Thanks Moe... kinda what I figured. Isolation of engine and transmission vibration is always a good deal.
They’re rubber for a reason! Friend of mine did solid mounts and poly bushes to his ford cortina. Puts a lot of stress on other parts including all your back lol
Did the same thing to a Honda I had when I was a kid... totally hated the feel.
It ain’t a blue cup, but l guess a blue cozy is just as good! Nice work!
Thanks Terry!!! lol
what is the purpose this ?? what does it do
Provides amazing cross triangulated support between the shock towers and trans mount. I saw a huge change in rear-end stabilization with my larger engine.
@@JWClassicVW nice i have a 67 with a 2165 making 210 to the wheels and i have had no problems and i drag race and drive it on the street great vids
Here in south Africa a person must manufacture your own kafer bar your Americans are privileged to get all beetle spares
Yes, the Beetle is still well supported here in the USA.
How does this affect your ability to do engine swaps ,as far as time goes....also does it require more time if you need to pull transmission or complete transaxle? I have removable rear valance for ease and speed of said projects due to my use of 59 bug
Great question Redd, as far as pulling the engine a would say no difference. When it comes to the trans I would say it may add a little but with the pins each bar is removed pretty easily.
Total cost?
As of today Redd, according to CRC's website the kit goes for $275.00... that doesn't include shipping.

Shouldn't that lower bracket be " welded " on the horn fork ?
Hey brother thanks for the comment!! I really thought about doing that and still might at some point but I got to be honest that thing isnt going anywhere. Especially with the 2 bolts in there, if you check the video description I added a link to the install instructions from Coolrydes.
Does this help with the camber as well? For example, I have a camber compensator bar that helps it drive straight after hitting gnarly bumps at high speeds.
It did help some with the Camber, pushing the shock tower back out.
Jason, noticed the extra hole drilled is close to the bracket edge. Agree with 2 holes. Noticed you also have yellow trans mounts? Where’d you buy them? I just bought the rhino mounts from CB. Since my engine is out, I’m installing the same.
The trans mounts came with the transmission from Rancho.
I noticed on the instruction sheet that Coolrydes installs the fork tabs in the opposite direction. Do you notice that?
I did... just didn't like the way it was further in front of the trans mid-mount. This way it seems better placed with my 2 bolts centered on the trans nose mid-mount. But either way I'm sure is fine.
Jason . Great bug. Love it . I had a 51 split . My mind set is from my past and now dealing with H.P. LOL . If you " Turbo " your next engine, you will be not only welding everything. You will be holding onto your @%^&* . Love my Ron Lumus RLR turbo . Keep up the great videos.
Lol... I'm sure the more power I add the more things will change!! That's the fun part!
But what is the purpose of it does it stop the wheel hop that was the problem I had on my 1776 I put solid mounts on the transmission but she still liked jumping like a crazy rabbit and I wander if this setup would made a difference keep putting up these awesome videos bro!!!!😎👍
You bet man... wheel hop is no more!! This kit is the truth... very cool and solid as a rock now.
Now I understand the video.no hops
Your welds are looking better, too bad mine aren't.
Ahhh thanks man... I'm my worse critic on the welding. Definitely an art to it, lots of practice and playing around with the setting.
@@JWClassicVW so true. Thanks for your informative vids.
