Kombi 1600tp Transplant '71 into '73
Hi all, I'm wanting to transplant a 1600tp T1 from my deceased '71 Kombi into my '73 Singlecab..... but the singlecab has no tin ware and the later
style engine bay (no removable beaver panel).
How hard is it to make up some tinware to seal the engine bay and is there a rubber seal/bellow needed on the oval hole in the firewall above the
gearbox?
And are there any other changes or modifications I need to be aware of???
All help will be appreciated :thumb

You would be better off trying to get hold of the correct tinware for the big engine bay, someone on here should have some, you will also need to get
the later style 1600 rear engine bar and mounts.
