@Impala posted:I thought somebody here had a car with that adapter. If you ask me it's even sturdier than the Napoleon hat on the standard models; the steel gauge is heavier. I wouldn't be hesitant to use one; just make sure all your measurements line up when installing it; but you're doing this anyway. If the Super chassis is in better shape it might be the best alternative. Except for that small front section the cars are identical, chassis-wise.
By the way; that engine you have has a VW Mexico case; I haven't seen one since the late '80's when I worked in a VW parts shop/machine shop. The ones you still find are mostly VW Brazil.
That's a good eye you have. How on earth could you tell the case origin from that pic?!
I found all the hardware and the 35 year old conversion kit instructions and thought I'd throw it together to see how it worked. The hole alignment is really bad so it will take some "wallering" but this at least gives me an idea. It seems very sturdy with lots of attachment points.
