the cvs are 944/type2 items. They came on the shafts I got on ebay and I don't know their condition so I'll probably replace them eventually with fresh ones.

The stock rear seat *should* be able to be used, but with a little modification to get around the gearbox. I plan on opening up the parcel area into the engine bay and panelling right behind the seat. I'll include a late bay inspection hatch into it for access to the engine from inside.

man, there's sooooo much work ahead

Do you know what type of front mount to use ?
I checked Berg's website, but there are no pics.

Rob: if you are talking about when you move the gearbox forwards, most people don't bother with a front mount, the mid mount is fairly close and nice and solid. You may have to fit an earlier nosecone and remove the reverse switch to have enough clearance to the torsion housing tho'...

Hi

On the German Look site in the Transmission photo page there is a picture of the mid Berg type mount, 2nd page, top left corner.

Rob you and I doing very similar things, I keep reading what your doing and I say to myself thats what I have planned, we must be terestial twins or something.

With the reverse light switch issue, you can bore a hole in the torsion bar housing top give more clearance.

Steve
