L64M - A nice & bright colour - that's why it's the Atomic Apple - that and the fact that the engine has mutated...

Moog the 228 flywheel with engine can be bolted on a bug gearbox but the bellhouse of the gearbox will have to be opened up a little. If you have a rhino case this will accept the 228mm flywheel very easily.

Very nice colour. I saw it on a bug on the cover of trends a while back, I've been in love with it ever since. That's the colour I have planed for my Ghia. Bright, really bright.

Nice project. I really like the radiator idea. :righton:

The 228mm flywheel will fit without any work at all, but it was the 228mm clutch which then required lots of grinding to the gearbox. I tried a Rhino case on the bench and this needed lots of work as well.

I believe Danborn used a 228 and says that the gearbox is paper thin in places. SteveC used a 228 originally and said it needs lots of grinding. He eventually settled on a 215.

The 215mm flywheel & clutch fits with no work at all, so this was the most sensible route to me rather than spend time weakening the gearbox. The clutch is strong enough for the power put through it.

Hi Dan - nice car! I've seen a few pics of yours ages ago. What fuel system are you using - that looks like some sort of single throttle body injection system?

I assume you use some sort of heater matrix to keep you warm - i used a Polo matrix under the rear seat - what did you use? What about SteveC, or don't you need heating in Oz ?

Cheers

Moog

p.s. anyone think we should make our own WasserBugs stickers...

Hi, well the engine is a 2.1 DJ with a W120 cam and ported heads... The injection is Megasquirt, with Audi A4T (Bosch 150 280 447 injectors 241cc) VW fuel pump, modified AUDI A4T fuel rail with 3 bar fuel reg. and finally custom plenum.... I love heat so I also use the Polo heater I just mounted it up front where the rad. from an Alfa 33 it is sitting in place of the spare wheel,

The gearbox is from a Thing or vw 181, with LSD… Breaks is disc all around with Porsche 4 pots in front and Golf GTI callipers in the back… I have some more pics here: Shoptalk

Hi

We need heat sometimes down here. I used a Toyota Troop Carrier rear seat heater under my back seat, it blew into the stock heater channels, a good way to keep the heater channels dry. I also used the cable for the rear seat heater flap to operate my heater tap.
