Club 80-90 Forums

Hi all, great forum.

Anyway back to topic, I recently bought a van with this conversion, and it runs and works fine although there are a few things i would like to sort out so it's all mint. Are there any UK suppliers of the bell housing adaptors and the engine mounting bars, as per the one's listed on the South African website? My set up appears to be a home made affair and although it's fine, i'd rather have the real deal, and plan to sort everything out in the next few months. I've already spoken to Simon @ brickwerks and have the beast booked in late April for a check up etc, but any help in the meantime would be great.

Thanks!

Anyone? I emailed the company in SA and they seem to have gone bust recently.......so much so that the guy tried to sell me the company!
She's off to Brickwerks tomorrow anyway so we'll see what they say.

The person you refer to sold out to Winkler (www.vw-winkler.de) last year, though I hear he has set up again under another name.

There is no known UK supplier for the bellhousing. Best to keep looking on Ebay.de

ok thanks mate. I will do that!

Think i've found an engine bar....is this one?



Link to it on ebay:

Although it looks different to the SA one...

There are a few guys down in bristol fitting Audi engines into vans. one has the in line 5 tdi and the other a v6 bi turbo. gear box choice is std 5 speed with adaptor on bell housing to engine, the other is using renault un1 box with an audi bell housing cut and re-welded to fit the un1. The porsche 915 is an easy fit into the T25/T3 but will need an adapter plate to make good the marriage of engine and box. Also clutch and flywheel mods needed.

the problem is where do you source these adaptorplates and engine bars from, as I emailed the South African place and he said they'd gone bust!

the engine bar is easy to make

I've got a low mileage Audi 5 cylinder 2.2 Turbo engine complete with loom,ECU,intercooler etc if anyone's interested.

Iv just bought a 5pot t3 syncro from germany and fitting a westfalia roof and interior to it fingers crossed it will be ok just not loving the waterboxers been there had the usual engine problems
