Stef's beam builds

[RetroPug]

Are you able to offer a rebuilt beam without taking an old one in part exchange for a higher price?

[Stef205]

Yes I dont see why not.

[Magenta Sunset]

i'd be interested in a beam for my hdi (abs), but it'd have to wait til next year.
ideally, i'd like the refurb unit sent b4 returning the OE one, so that I can take it to KrisB for fitting.
is that a reasonable ask?

[Stef205]

i dont stock many axles so we will have to work something out near the time.

[Stef205]

Quick bump

Still doing these

[Magenta Sunset]

[cully]

I can recommend stef for work he did on my beam
replacing T bars and height adjustment

[Stef205]

Few messages lately about beams, Yes i am still doing them currently on a break as ive taken on a huge welding job which is taking all of my free time and wouldnt be fair to others to take on beam work. Will update when im all good again

No worries Stef. Let me know when you are back on with them and I'll buy one. I also need a 205 GTI subframe if you've hot any?

[Stef205]

Sorry mate I'll reply to your message now

[Stef205]

Forgot to update this.

I am now back to normal and beam builds are flowing again. My rebuilds still use oem parts and include new bolts and now all parts are shot blasted as standard! Price still remains at £280 for you guys.

Ha! the amount of people that praise the new bolts. In my eyes its a good finishing touch.

I think it's worth while with any replacement part tbh mate, makes life so much easier if you ever come back to it.

[Magenta Sunset]

think my original beam may be seized.

[Stef205]

Seized 306 beams are getting as common as the 205/309 stuff now. Ripe for the bin tbh

[Magenta Sunset]

darn.!
what's the best way to determine?

[Stef205]

Bounce the car see if it moves.

[Magenta Sunset]

it's off the car, swapped with a used one I had.

[welshpug]

pull it apart.

I had a 205 beam which was meant to have been built by a well known beam builder.

one side was seized, thankfully it came apart and we could use the arms, all 4 bearings had been installed back to front and too deep, seal clearances way too tight, and deep wear grooves under the outer bearings!!

[Magenta Sunset]

next spring then - - - - maybe

[Stef205]

available soon

Xsara vts axle

Good upgrade over the standard gti6 beam.
£300 on exchange of another vts axle
£350 on exchange with a gti spec axle

Stef. just briefly, when sending a beam for refurb, do you need the support arms sent with it, or just the beam tube & trailing arms?

[Stef205]

i dont need the support arms, but due to how they are bolted in standard form you can not remove them unless the beam is standard height you might get them off.

[Magenta Sunset]

thanks. the beam will be off the car for that then.
