Replace your Volkswagen Beetle or Karmann Ghia front frame head with this sturdy reproduction unit built for correct link pin front end restoration and structural welding.
This reproduction Volkswagen Beetle and Karmann Ghia front frame head is the correct replacement for link pin style front ends, fitting all standard Beetles from 1950–1965 and Karmann Ghia models from 1956–1965. Built from sturdy sheet metal and designed for weld-on installation, this frame head provides the structural foundation needed for a proper front end restoration. It is not suitable for 1966 and later Beetle or Ghia models equipped with ball joint axles.
When replacing a frame head, careful measurement before cutting is essential. Take measurements from the front bolt holes on the chassis tunnel and rear chassis support panels to the very front of the existing frame head — on both sides — to ensure square installation. Record your measurements, verify the new frame head is level, and make strong, solid welds throughout. This is a critical structural component and installation quality matters.
This is a reproduction part made of sturdy sheet metal intended for weld-on fitment to the front chassis.
