Hi Beetle experts.
With my project I am fitting a pre 1973 gearbox onto a post 1973 frame. As such the front gearbox mounting is different.
The post 1973 has the two bolts on the bottom of the chassis for the new type bracket.
Is there an adapter I can buy or is my only choice to weld the pre 1973 bracket into the post 1973 frame?
Thanks for the input on advance.

As Haans said, will be the easiest.
For what it's worth, ignorance has no limits ......
