hi rossko,

the tubes themselves are the exact same length, whether you are talking bug or type 3, wide 5 or 4 stud.

it is the end casting that differs in length. this is pressed onto the tube and held in place by a pin in the end casting.
wide 5 bug's have short end castings, whereas fatty's have long end castings. wide 5 type 3's have long end castings.
the length of the axle itself differs also.

you already have 'short' axle tubes.
are you after short end castings?

cheers,
steve

Thanks for the clarification Steve.

Yes I need the short end castings,
as i want to bring the wheels further inwards on my type III.

Thus I need beetle stuff, with the shorter end castings.

I have access to shorter axles, but they are in Adelaide, so somewhere in melburg, would be easier, but not necessary.

cheers
