Hi Rich
thanks for the reply. I was talking to Martin Bott after reading about the kits he was making for porsche boxes that was in Ultra VW. I have an older 901 box and he has said that he has a shorter nosecone for these boxes also.
Are you talking about the same guys the website is www.bugat5speed.de.

thanks Cormac.

Yes, I was talking about Martin, I just forgot his web address!
There was quite a good article in Ultra VW showing the installation of a 901 in a bug chassis with his parts.

He make it look like you can do it with your eyes closed.
I cant beleive it was only an hour.
I would imagine though it would take a little longer with the body on?

What Subaru engine are you putting in ?
Keep in mind that the EJ25 is bigger than an EJ22. I am using an EJ25 with the stock tranny and I already had to cut the rear fenders for the timing belt cover.

Hows it going rob
i am taking the easy way out and getting Andy in AMR Motors in England to install the EJ22 there is a picture of it on the website. Its the engine that was in Darryn Colemans beetle I think i can post it. Of course it will lose the pink plug leads.
I have just ordered the Parts from Martin. He is absolutely fantastic just wire the money through and wait. Excellent stuff cant wait to see the gear.
I'll post up the box too.
