Hi all,
www.subarugears.com is proud to announce the release of the new Subamount for beetles. This provides a bolt-in rear mount for all Subaru engine and transmission conversions.
Made from three parts of 6mm steel, CNC laser cut and folded into shape. These parts use a tab/slot system to ensure perfect alignment before being MIG welded into place. After welding, the external welds are polished down and a bright gold coating is applied to the Subamount.
The Subamount design provides a folded underside for additional engine mount support and stiffness in all directions. Additionally, 4 x laser cut holes are provided on the underside for an engine and/or transmission "bash plate" to be attached by bolts or nuts/bolts.
These are now in stock and available for $200 AUD delivered to your door via TNT.
Some images :
Optimised torsion bar location (as close as possible!) :
Optimised shift rod location (clears above torsion bar and clears below sheet metal). (This photo is taken without any nose mount - just the Subamount holding it in the perfect location) :
Perfect clearance for Subaflanges in both type 2/4 and type 930. Both IRS and non-IRS pan horns can be used :
Use the upper mounting holes to lower the driveline and use extended length Subaflanges. The lower driveline allows quad cam engines to fit under the rear decklid :
Further development of a bolt-in/weld-in nose mount and double jointed shift rod connector is being undertaken and should be available down the track.
