Hi
I've got a '71 Deluxe and have got to the stage where I can put in the gear box and engine but I can't see what/how/where supports the gearbox
I should probs point out that the gearbox is from a '73, will it even fit??
I spoke to VW Heritage who said I need a cradle and they told me to call Volksmagic for a secondhand one as they are no longer manufactured new.
Mr Volksmagic asked me if it was a front or rear cradle that I needed and I have no idea! I've taken a couple of pics of what is there, if someone could either point me in the right direction of where to look for a diagram or tell me what I need. I've searched for info on tinternet but I've ended up confusing myself as to whether it needs both supports or what
Is the bracket in the middle of this pic part of the support?
And there doesn't seem to be anything at the sides to bolt anything too.
Any advice gratefully received
Thanks
Wendy
