thanx Terry
So no more scraping issues with the small wheels , may need to get longer wheel studs due to the 6mm spacers inserted just for peace of mind.
Rear shoes have been adjusted , handbrake works. To tell you the truth the brakes dont feel much better than what they were previously with the old drum system. I have bled the brakes twice already and the pedal is hard.
My turning circle is also wider,,,,
I wrapped the exhaust today

Is the type 4 in? Sorry I'm asking now only but for some reason I cannot view all the pictures as it only presents a tiny icon saying image...
And if so, did you go the upright conversion or do a straight swap with bodywork effort?

Im running a single port beetle engine at the moment, ended up sticking that 1700 type 4 into a kombi.
