    To be honest with you, I'm have a hard time finding the details
myself. I learn by others mistakes.  I want to do mine right the
first time. Everyone seam to have "the way I did it"info. but the intimate
detail are missing.
    My first problem is mounts. The Golf/Jetta mounts simply are in
the wrong place. Dave has the best info. about moving these, but still
not clear as to where the driver side mount goes, what I'm looking
for and how the exhaust has to be re-routed. Several people
have given me good ideas. So my next step is a junk yard. I'll but
a GTI exhaust manifold, and maybe the mounts to the Fox,or Quantum.
    Comments?
