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.

 Cross Member, Beetle, Split & Oval, up to 1955, Left  111801201 DKB 

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