Garrett, I dont *think* the backing plate would fit. Bill May's
observation is always correct. Plus the ball joint and link/king pin setups are
poles apart. I am guessing none of the parts would be interchangeable.
Anyway, since you have already made the purchase, you may keep them in your
'parts bin' for some future application or pass them on to someone who can use
them. For the record (Im sure most know here) the ball joint setup appeared
on Bugs in 1966 ie with the 66 year models. Best regards,AsadPakistan.> Date:
