vw54 will say call Vintage Vee dub Supplies. I do too!
Simply buy a 62-64 rubber mount and bracket. Bolt it to the front of your gearbox and slide the assembly into the car. Line the shifter coupler up in
the correct place and simply weld the mount to the underside of the car where the factory 62-64 mount resides (2 one inch welds are required) You will
still have your 2 old 10 mm existing threads if ever you wish to return to the factory 59 gearbox in the future.
Cheers Leigh
oh yer VVDS has them!
You have to remove the motor n box and weld in a new front mount
better off if you can get an empty dummy gearbox with out axles and fit it up in place and weld the new bracket onto the torsion tube
much easier than lifting a full gearbox
Found this on ebay USA.
