915 rear mount questions

[Sandeep]

Hello,

Has anybody fabbed up their own rear mount for a 915 into a beetle chassis ? I was planning on using the mount from bugat5speed but after looking closely at the design, I will not have enough room on the starter side as that is where my turbo inlet sits.

I am currently using a stock beetle rear mount with the red urethane rear beetle peices on my 914 gearbox and I had to slightly shave the rear metal mount to get enough clearance for the turbo inlet.

I am thinking of using the same setup for the 915 as my measurements between the input shafts on the 915 and 914 gearboxes are the same. The only issue is that no flat spots exist on the 915 in the bellhousing area, and that area looks a little thin for bolts. I'm pretty sure the bolts will interfere with the flywheel as well.

I have an idea that might work but will need some aluminum machining and use the lower 2 engine carrier holes to secure the gearbox.

Any ideas on a simpler solution ?

Thanks
