How much 'massaging' did you have to do in the crotch area to fit the 915 in there?

Also Sandeep, do you have pics of your A/W setup?

I'll take some pics of the 'crotch area' but I notched it enough not to harm the torsion bar area. The 915 bellhousing surface sits about 6mm further to the rear than the stock gearbox, no adapter parts for the 915 required as I built all the peices myself.

Christmas break update

Having 2 week off really helped

I welded up the pans and sandblasted them, and then acid etched with phosphoric acid.






Some POR15 ..





And then some "tie coat" primer





And then two coats of Tremclad yellow to closely match the body
