Re: 1965 DC project
Not too sure as it is a bus specific gearbox and ratiod accordingly. Also has the reduction boxes attached to the axle....??1972 wrote:looking good![]()
just a Q will that type gearbox fit onto a bug or will mods be needed?
Bugger is the guru to speak to speak to if you are looking for a stronger or longer ratiod box....

Will bit into a beetle.
Need to modify the beetle trailing arms and make an adapter plate from the trailing arm to the reduction box. This give you about 60/70mm rise in the back of the beetle.
Ive still got the two trailing arms and one of the adapters if any bodys looking.
