Cheers Graham! I believe 5 or 6 pairs have been made in this batch.

I didnt see any support on torsiontubes on your car and Humble's car, i have only seen support on mendeola oval chassis and remmele chassis.
Looks like they dont need as much support as the shock towers and framehorns. First i wanted to have tubes from rollcage mainloop to torsiontubes, but it might be not needed from what i have heard: http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/4650/75jz.jpg |
Alex,
Copied from my same answer in Humbles thread: The fact I didn't weld any supports to the torsion tubes, doesn't neccesarily mean I wouldn't be better of with them... In fact, thats probably the first other thing I will add to the existing cage as my instablity at Santa Pod in 2012 might be due to missing exactly that! Cheers, Walter |
For most tracks, these trans straps are gonna be mandatory. We just made one from 6mm steel, 4 inches wide...

Thats what i thought, finnish vw fellow with 300hp on a splitwindow also thought that torsionbars need support more than just body bolted to it
http://ub-52.blogspot.fi/ (The tubechassis car is a different project, i have designed that rear suspension.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=QOrhwTLF3hA I am thinking either cage tied to torsionbars or remmele style bars: http://germanlook.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11601 |

Walter, is your's a clutch scatter shield? |
Yeah, i think bars from mainloop to the torsionbar tubes will do the trick on most beetles.
|
One way is a short blind tube bolted thro the body to the t/housing end on using the existing fixing point, say about 200mm vertical, then one down from the main hoop welded to the vertical piece, then up from there again to the diagonal, that way you get a good triangulation , plus the cage can come out if required.

Spanner: yeah, scatter shield for clutch or flywheel retention is the correct term ;) |
Fitted and all :)
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...psb9461091.jpg Today I was at a shop that coincidentally had an engine with one of the very early Engoine Plus heads on the bench. So I compared a little :D http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...5.jpg~original |
Cool comparison! The TP Heads have much more cooling fins and it seems longer ports also.The latest generation Engine Plus heads have also much more cooling fins than the previous ones.Thorsten really did a fantastic job on those heads! IŽm really looking forward to this project! Hope youŽll be in Spa this year with it!

We only had time today for the 3-4 cylinder side and those cylinders looked top! Think I made a pic if your interested. |
IŽve seen the version 9 heads also.They are a big improvement compared to the first generations,mainly the casting and material,so Jan Lackstetter a few years ago.However, they do perform very well. I would like to see the chinese cylinders,thanks!
