- Okay, maybe I haven't dug around as much, but I could not for the life of me find any videos of any type 3 short axle conversions. Since I was already doing the work, I figured I'd do an in depth video on how it all gets put together and what parts are needed. Hopefully this helps!
If after watching this video and you still want the novel version, here's the write up! Let me know which one you liked better

Well done Jeremy. Appreciate all of the hard work and videos you keep producing for the Type 3 followers. Cheers.
thanks, bud!
Also, I think I recall somebody mentioning putting a thick dab of grease on the back side of those side plates to hold them in place
Heck to the yeah man this will look killer all narrowed up
Snap ring pliers. You're making me hungry to pull my engine and transmission. Nice being able to live vicariously through you on this one!
Yeah, brain fart on the pliers. “Thingy” is my go-to haha.
@@jeremydoc no judgment from this guy.. just understanding!!
Nice job as always!!!!
@@billcamp2351 I appreciate that, bro
Nice work Brother. I can send you a plane ticket anytime you want to come to Florida and work on my race car. You are an excellent mechanic very good at attention to detail.
Very nice of you to say, I won’t turn down a free plane ticket haha. Just out here trying to be like you, Darrin!
I did this same swap years ago now but only recently added/welded the original Z bar guides to the axle tubes also.
Dude, I was just talking to my brother about this. Did you chop off the ones off your Type 3 tubes and welded onto the Type 1’s or did you just custom fabricate your own and welded onto the tubes?
Also, before you did this, did you notice any significant difference when not using the Z-bar?
@@jeremydocI found a second set of the type 3 axle tubes and cut off the z bar guides as I wanted to keep my original set as spares, then welded on the new while the tubes were still attached to the box. My car is still in resto so I haven’t driven it yet.
