Well i thought that i would use up the remaining empty space thread on this forum by asking everyones views on VW transaxles..Like Beetle and Caravelle ,Transporter type ones!
I have been informed that they are virtualy the same as the Hewland casing Type 9(?).
Years ago i had a VW Variant twin carb 1600 and the box was great apart from a sloppy worn gear change.
Thinking ahead it is just that i have had a Fiat twin cam engine unit adaptor for a VW transaxle for some time,and it may be a good thing to use a Fiat Twin cam engine for DJL Mk 1.
I take it to use in a rear/midships installation the transaxle would have to be turned upside down!
Excuse me for mentioning an engine over 1000cc by the way!
I would like to use an Imp engine really so i may try to adapt /adapt the adaptor to fit an Imp unit to VW transaxle...Thinking it will handle handle 150 say bhp of a S/C engine better than a glorious Imp transaxle
