ok let me start again 😬
wow you have a lot of work to do
this is what i did to the rear of my buggy
i have so brackets laser cut same size as od of the rear housing
65 mm i think and 10mm in the middle which gave me a 3 " rase rear housing and tones of travle with the buggy at 100 mm of the ground ok so i setup all 4 brackets on so 65 rhs and lined them up till they where spot on then tacket the down then cleaned up a type 3 rear end bit of cutting and grinding then welded the setup to the housing then set it of on the pan (what ever was left) and it lined up great the welded the shite out of it then boxed it all up and added some braces and that how i did it im not sure how everyone else goes about it
here are some pic the will show you better then i can spell it out ..again lol

G'day mate, if you still have the rear firewall aside I wouldn't mind working out a way to try and get it up here. We are after one for a restoration on a customer's beetle.
Let me know either way.

A bit more of an update for all who wish to know.. many more nights filled with the sound of an angle grinder have been had .. and the car has been lightened a bit more . To the point that i do indeed need a cage . Also have purchased an alloy front beam which is now narrowed by 1 1/2 inches each side and solid plates made for the shock towers (thanks to allan & Morgan for there help)
