hi all this the flywheel that came with my adaptor kit as far as i can tell it is a modified 1600 flywheel it has been machined out to take a 228 mm clutch plate.
now if you look you can see the six holes that were for the pressure plate the new holes measure from center to center across the center at 244mm i do not know which pressure plate matches this spacing any ideas would be great the ring gear diameter is the same as a 1600 275 mm and the adapter housing is cast alloy i cant do much till can find out what pressure plate to fit.
thanks rod

Hi

The only 228 VW clutch is from a late bay or Wasserboxer. These are interchangable. I ran a 228 on my old Wasserboxer bug and I needed to clearance the bell-housing on a late bug transmission a fair bit.
