Or, putting the question another way.....

With a stock Vanagon Diesel 1.6 NA, how far below the rear apron is the
crank pulley bolt centre? 1" ? 2" ?

I know the diesel engine is positioned slightly lower than the gas boxer
engine. Before removing my 2.1 WBX, I used a squared up piece of wood to
transfer the crank pulley bolt centre to the body (rear apron). This engine
had new motor mounts. Image of transferred mark:

I'm ready to fabricate engine mount brackets for the ABA I've installed in
my '88. Currently, it's positioned with crank centre very close to 3" below
the rear apron. If positioning the ABA to the factory diesel "height" works
for me, I'd do that.

Thanks again

Neil.
