Hello-
The 915 is a different animal. There are three different models and they are heavier, stronger and longer than a bugs. The clutch operates the same as a bug, but the cable goes into the bottom and not the top. The CVs are 930 fine spline and require custom axles to mate to a bug CV.
Not true. *Some* had 930 flanges, but many had 915 flanges. A 915 CV is the SAME bolt pattern as a T2/T4/944 CV, only with different splines (and different internal parts). So, while the 915 CVs themselves are fairly useless, their flanges are perfect.
Also, you can get the earlier 915-sized flanges and put them on a later box.
The case is the same width as a bug. The rear can be modified to use bug mounts , but the front has to be custom.
Getting a trans with the right gear ratios is the most important item as they are very expensive to change. The clutch flywheel combo is based on the engine you use, however both require the use of a Porsche starter or an VW autostick starter (much cheaper with the same part number).
Or, an IMI high-torque starter. For $180-200, you'll never burn up a starter again. I went through 4 automatic VW starters before I learned :-).
Take care,
