The 228mm and the 215mm 914 flywheels will both fit into a beetle gearbox housing, they need to be machined a bit more.

The flywheels need a stepcut at the mounting surface of the pressure plate and the surface for the disc is also to be machined. Both surfaces have to be moved 2mm towards the engine (flywheel gets a bit thinner). Even then you have to grind out a whole lot from your gearbox, but not as much as before, so there will be no more openings in the housing! A self geared starter is also important. A starter from a auto-stick beetle or a hi-torque is the solution!
