Restore the structural foundation of your late-model air-cooled project with this Ball Joint Frame Head. Designed specifically for 1966 and newer Volkswagens, this component is the essential replacement for chassis suffering from severe rust, front-end collision damage, or "napkin holder" rot.

As a complete assembly, this unit provides a factory-accurate mounting surface for your ball-joint axle beam, ensuring your front-end geometry remains square and true. Manufactured from heavy-gauge steel, it offers the rigidity and durability required to keep your classic on the road for another sixty years.

Key Features

  • Direct Fit for Ball Joint Beams: Engineered specifically for the steering and suspension geometry of post-1966 standard chassis.

  • Heavy-Duty Steel Fabrication: Built to meet or exceed original factory specifications for thickness and structural reinforcement.

  • Complete Replacement Unit: Includes the main frame head section, the critical bottom plate, and internal supports.

  • Restoration Ready: Finished in a storage primer to prevent corrosion during shipping and storage; ready for final prep and professional welding.

Vehicle Fitment

This frame head is designed for "Standard" Beetle and Karmann Ghia chassis utilizing the ball joint front axle beam.

Tech Tip: This is a major structural repair that requires advanced fabrication skills. Because the frame head dictates your front wheel alignment and wheelbase, we recommend the use of a chassis jig or a donor pan for precise measurement and squaring before final welding.

It looks really cool and striking.

Really cool and beautiful watch. Although my specific unit runs 5 seconds fast every day—at first it’s annoying, but eventually you stop caring. 🤣

A Beautiful Timepiece at an Awesome Price!!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I have lusted after this watch for four months. I first tried on a similar model (stainless steel band with a green face) in a local jewelry shop (Spitz Jewlers, Walnut Creek, CA, USA). It was "love at first sight," even if I didn't love the white lines on the face from 12-6 and 3-9. At the time, the MSRP was $775. The MSRP has since increased to $795. But I bought this beauty on Amazon.com for only $524.99; after applying the cash-back from my Prime credit card, this watch costs only $498.75. This was "the offer that I could not refuse," to quote from "The Godfather." Accuracy could be better: after only a few days, it is now 7 seconds behind my phone (to which I set my new watch). But I don't really care about that all that much. This is why I rated "accuracy" at 4 stars, but my overall review is 5 stars. My video shows the date changing suddenly at 11:59:59pm, just how I want it; in another photo, you can see that my Seiko changes the date more slowly, which I do not like. This watch is absolutely phenomenally beautiful. If you're on the fence over whether to make this purchase, then I would say "go for it!" You will not find a prettier, more accurate watch at a lower price in ANY store in the entire USA.

Classy and sporty. Great value!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Excellent watch for the price. Looks sporty and dressy. More towards dress watch. Blue is dynamic. Strongly recommend blue for sporty feel. I was thinking of aqua terra. This come close to it with a price less than what i would have paid my state tax for omega aqua terra. My only concern is bracelet which i feel kind of OK. Better bracelet design would have made this watch much superior. 21 lug width is awful. Other than that, nothing to complain.

Stunning Gentleman's Watch
Color: Grey
This is my second Tissot watch. It's quite stunning in person. The online photos don't do it justice. It has the look and feel of a much more expensive gentleman's watch which makes this purchase a great bargain. Tissot is a great reliable Swiss made watch brand. My first Tissot watch which is probably more than 20 years old still runs great. Very pleased with this purchase.

Good Tissot Watch
Color: Grey
Arrived on time, in its original box, include a 2 year international warranty, into the box include a book with the Tissot brand history in Switzerland. Algo a second book with a whole catalog of Tissot watches men and women. The watch looks better when you put in on your wrist. The “naval” blue really gives the clock a classy look. The stainless steel workmanship is really good, the metal is bright and perfectly polished. The metal wristband quality is very good, did not have any problem to adjust the size , I went to my preferred clock workshop for this job, they extracted a few pieces of the band to fit to my small wrist size. Have to get used to the butterfly latch, but after a few days, now I learned to open and close it without any effort. The clock it’s very accurate, I’ve been using my Tissot for near a month and it just increased a few seconds per week. I do the setup and check accuracy with my pc clock. In short, It”s a good value watch, nice, good looking, accurate.
