today I started the process of fitting the 1303s box in my bay, I have taken some photos and have a few questions.
fist thoughts are that it should be simple enough with no additional brackets being required, just the modification of the original one.
Bay - here I have measured the distance from the selector rod to the bottom mounting bolt, its about 115mm
1303s I have done the same measurement on the 1303s box, its a bit crude and not too clear, but again its about 115mm, its a hole rather than a stud.
this is the early bay mounting bracket, my plan is to cut where I have hashed (badly) this is to allow for the different shape of the 1303s box, and drill two additional holes that line up with the holes on the 1303s box, the bottom bolt will line up with a hole already on the 1303s box.
I just found this photo on the parts emporium, it shows the thremounting holes in a 1303s gearbox
as for the CV joints, I had some Golf Mk2 ones lying about, give them a try and they fitted perfectly,
any comments queries or advice before I cut the bracket?
