John, can you attach some pictures?  remember to make them a little smaller( use Paint in Windows) reduce about 60%.  Make a post then after you have posted it, you can attach to that posts. Also help if we know about where you are located.
Might be some info here: http://www.dunebuggyarchives.com/forum/topic_show.pl?tid=2856
Pulled this from the Samba: Look close at the cast pieces that clamp the front beam to the frame. If it's a Hi Jumper or a Hobrecht Panzer, it will have one of those names cast into those pieces.

Hi, thanks. Tried to post pics, will try again. "Panzer" on the front beam clamps. Trying to find some info on the company.

Im in Northen Cal. Sutter.

Pictures are on phone , they are too big? Will send from pc later.
