Hi Judson,

I am fitting a 912 motor in our 73 Mark 1 and I was wondering if you would be willing to share any details/photos you might have regarding the minor cutting/modification of the cross member to accomodate this motor.

I have the front suspension all in pieces at present to clean, repaint and fit new bushes prior to re plumbing and fitting the motor.

Last weekend I had a fun packed weekend scraping off most of the bitumen coating a previous owner had sprayed all over the engine bay, the original paint cleans up well and looks in remarkably good condition, probably in part due to the ample volumes of oil the engine had spread around after the rope crank seal started leaking before we bought this car.

Any help at all would be much appreciated

Regards

Mark
