Re: Engine a gearbox bush diameters GT2

Nice one Joost,

Thanks very much. I'll get em ordered asap. Would people recommend VW Heritage for buying them, I'll be getting one of their poly mounts at the same time...

Cheers

Engine a gearbox bush diameters GT2

Hi All,

I'm part way through an ABF conversion into my mk2 rocco but I'm stuck now I need to buy eng and g/box mounts. I don't have the mounts with me, so was wondering if anyone could measure the diameter of both for me, on a J reg GT2?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Andy

Re: A few bolt numbers if you please

Wow, been away from the forum for a while now. Things have slowed down on the car front recently, mainly due to having a house, weather and a garage that is too small meaning that I can't have all parts present. So I have to collate the parts and then get the engine dropped in all in 1 go! Got a fri...

A few bolt numbers if you please

Hi Guys, I'm in the process of converting my GT2 to an ABF and I'm in need of some bolt numbers if anyone can help...? I'm a bit stuck however, as I'm unable to see either engine!

Re: Engine mounts

Thanks for the feedback gents, it's all very helpful. The car is going to be used, primarily for the track, and maybe the odd sunday jaunt. Looks like the bugpack inserts are pretty handy with standard units. Can anyone advise me on the part number I'll need, the car is a mk2 gt2. Many thanks, Andy

Engine mounts

Hi All,

Just after a bit of advice really. I'd like to potentially upgrade my engine mounts to be poly mounts. Can anyone advise on where I can get such things? Or whether I should by standard and track some poly inserts?

Any part numbers or advice would be great...

Cheers in advance

Re: 280mm G60 Brake adaptors drawing

Can anyone sort me out with a drawing for these? I'd just like a tinker on one of the machines at work. Can't do the real brackets as the machine isn't good enough with hard steel but I'd like a play and this is a good excuse. Also, aids me in looking at caliper fitments for when I need the proper b...

Re: WHERE TO BUY NEW ROCCO TANK

Beware that there are twi sizes of tanks. I seem to remember things changing around 86-88. When the Roc went from having a full size spare to a space saver...

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to confirm or tell me to naff off.

Re: My GTX Project

Bloody good nick that! The track slag looks good fun too! How is your MOT tester man with having no front bumper? I'm reckoning on going the same way with my (to be) track car.

Cheers,

Re: G60 & 16v Mk3 brakes

Early mk3s have 280mm brakes (you need the carriers as well as the calipers) later mk3s have 288mm, you DON'T want the 288mm ones as they won't fit.
