Getting a good seal on the pan gasket is one reason for the angle. This is about the best you can get given the distance from point A to point B

I was hoping to post the finished mounting, but didn't have a 1 5/8" hole saw for the boot, and rod to go through (got 1 1/2", and 1 3/4" hole saw though ) Guess I'll bring one home from work tomorrow...

OK. I brought home a hole saw, and finished the mounting holes. Next is matching what I did here to the firewall on the body. I need to get the pan back on the body to put mock-up motor back in for building a header. Because, coming up real soon, I get to build my motor, and dyno it, but i can't do that without a header. So, pedals and slave cylinder mounting has to wait.

Thanx man. I thought all the people thinking about doing (or have done) a 901, 915, or G50 would like this idea...it's just taken ALOT longer to get to do it, because of everything else that gets thrown my way for help.

I haven't had time the last month or so to get back on my project. In the coming weeks I will have time again, and will do that part of the conversion. It will be easier to show pix of it then to explain it in words though.

Well, I just finished my friends motor rebuild and he will pick it up tomorrow afternoon Then, I can get back to the important stuff . This weekend is the first VW event I attend every year (SEVWA Dyno day sat. and, show/drag on sun.) so, will not make any head way this weekend, but I may find a few more parts for the project though

any news on this? I'm right behind you with the 915 install, and your topic, amongst a few others here are always inspiration to me!

No progress on this part of the build. Got my motor built, and switched back to making my header so I can dyno it. This past year has not allowed alot of time for my (VW) projects.
