915 install done and superb

FYI...Finally got around to finishing off this 915 install. Was actualy alot of work but worth it in the end. I have solid mounted the box completely and vibration is zero! Best thing i ever did. Engine doesnt shake around as before. Whole clutch has been changed..rigid set up now. Box positioned within mm of original. Changed inner cv's, used 915 shifter and modified the std beetle linkage and shaft. No bend inside the tunnel and works perfect. Just had to reposition the front shifter bush in the tunnel. Removed the old heater tubes in the rear of the tunnel for shift rod clearance. Shifter spacings are perfect too. Have read many peoples articles and taken on board all there ideas but in the end have gone about it my own way from scratch and im very pleased with the result.
