Transaxle in L bug bonnet?

Quick question - will an IRS transaxle fit in the front of an L bug?

If it won't, I need to take my trailer with me.

A mate of mine was bidding on some wheels for his Porsche, and they were pick up only in Lithgow. I was going to pick them up for him if he won them - he didn't.
The seller also had an IRS box going, I bid on it and won it, now it seems a shame to take the trailer (as small as it is) all the way from Parkes to Port Macquarie and back if it will fit in the front.

I am hoping to leave Parkes by 3.30pm, so if you can get back quick enough, I can see which way to go.

Hi

As long as the axles are of it it will fit OK.

The thought crossed my mind after I wrote that. 🙂

Anyway, the answer is yes it does fit - quite easily (whew).

I know it won't fit in the front of My NON Super beetle Jeff

C'mon people use your imagination. Of COURSE you can fit things into the front of beetles to make them 4WD! (Just requires a bit of cut an shut).
