To get proper Ackerman, you need to have the right length of tie rods when you narrow your beam. It is not as simple as cutting your tie rods the amount you narrowed your beam. It's a math problem.
For reference, your steering box is not in the center of the beam. It is to the left here in the US. So the lengths of the tie rods play a major role in steering geometry. So, to not give away our secrets, let's just say we have done the math for you.
These tie rods are narrowed enough to allow for two to three inches of narrowed width on a 1966 through 1977 Type 1 Classic Volkswagen Beetle, Karmann Ghia, in a ball joint application. For the two inch application, you will have less threads showing on the tie rod ends and for the three inch, you will have more. Stock tie rods consist of part numbers 131415801B, 131415802C for 1966-68, and 131415801F, 131415802E for 1969-77.

- When updating your tie rod assemblies, it is recommended to update your tie rod ends to a premium german brand, if possible as some manufacture's build those ends in the wrong tolerances. We prefer Meyle when possible. You can find them here.
