yeah that's very nice,
I'm just so 'terminally done' with air-cooeld Vw's I'd cringe ever time I
saw that bug bell housing cradle mount ..
seen too too many of those things ..to last 4 lifetimes.
so far I'm not having trouble getting the stock DV rubber exh. mounts.
there is or wasm a rare 'double size' one for the oil pan bracket , that's
on a stock DV with engine mounted at 50 degrees.
for 50 degree turbo diesel installations, I just reproduce the stock DV set
up but in 'turbo with glasspack' ..works perfectly.
for an upright engine ...
I 'might' do it that way too, probably would.
I do like the traditional VW thing ( for rear mounted engiens ) of the
entire exhasut system is mounted to the engine only.
what I can't figure is ..
why is there not a rear engine ( mounted inline , not sideways ) inline 4,
gas or diesel ..
in a smallish car............ with watercooled rear engine that's inline
four.
I'd love to build one ..couldn't stand to make it Bug based or Squareback
based or anything like that though ... so 'what car or chassis' that would
be, remains elusive.
I don't think my 78 Mercedes 450SLC is it though !
Guess I'll have to start with a tube frame dune buggy and put a body on it.
whoops ..sorry.
back to thinking about DV rubber exhaust mounts !
