GTyp3: 69 Notchback sleeper

Cool project Wally!

Thanks Pete!

As I had not really test fitted the '87 G50 tranny and the 2012 engine together just yet, I test fitted the dual mass flywheel and went ahead positioning the tranny.

Somebody on Pelican said only the GT2 and GT3 Metzger engines fitted the G50's, but you never really know till you try hey?

It indeed fits flawlessly!



Other then that, I've been doing some small fixes on the notch, but this was good for motivation

I dunno, it seems oddly shaped and I think its crazy expensive if you had to buy a used one. Why would you even want to consider that? Strange question?

Anyways, trying to find the correct starter motor for this combo, so I can test compression, is a test of patience..I bought a wromg one, hopefully coming week I have the correct one here. Fortunately the chinese electrical parts are cheap and usually work just fine (1303 has one too and that one works awesome!).

In the meantime, the 'project creep' has gotten to the front brakes
Did make sense to up that area a bit more, so the CB alu wheel bearing houses with 5x130 studs and disk/calipers are for sale now.

This was a lot more work: epytec wheel - 944 outer, type 1 inner - bearing housings, boxster calipers and cayman 299x20mm disks, plus adapters from Lanner:

So you purchased the Epytec hub and bracket kit? How well made were they?

Are you using their bracket, or are you using something you fabbed up?

Just the hub; Lanner made me a custom bracket for type 3 (as the steering arm on the spindle is always in the way) and my particular set of parts

[DORIGTT]

How would you rate the quality of the hub? Will it endure your track usage and such?

It uses the standard VW spindle which means no special machining and such correct?

I'd like to get a set for my '70 Ghia, but I've got 944T brake calipers.
