This is the closest you’ll get to an original early-Beetle rear cross member without cutting one out of a museum car. DKB stamps this panel from 1.0 mm automotive-grade sheet steel, using proper deep-draw tooling to reproduce every curve, recess, and mounting detail exactly as Volkswagen designed it.

No patchwork welding, no “close enough” aftermarket geometry.
This is a full one-piece pressing, dimensionally correct, crisp, and ready to install without fighting the fit.

Built specifically for Oval Beetles from 1956 up to 1957, this cross member restores the structural rigidity of the rear chassis area the way the factory intended.

If you want the correct look, the correct fit, and the correct structure, this is the panel you use.
