What a good solution. A splice with plenty of contact area for a strong joint. Thank you very much for that.

As things stand with the 8 point rule you are quite right. The chassis must not be modified. However, a recent letter from the DVLA or whatever they call themselves to the Beach Buggy Club indicated that the 8 point rule would be superseded in May with something that could be rather more lenient. Remember most VW base buggies have a shortened Beetle chassis. So it will be interesting to see what happens.

Forgive me for stating the obvious. Modify the chassis. And surely youll need an IVA?
