got a box off a 76 bug, changed the gearbox nose cone to suit, hmmm wont fit.
gearbox too long, rear cradle 1 -2 inches short of going in. huh.
question is, do i need to change the front rubber bit on the chassis side. got me beat.
i have a superbug.
the nose cone is hard up against the front mount.

ideas

have you got the gear box mount with the two banana mounts that bolt onto the bell housing end back to front ????

Ok, so the rear cradle points to the rear from the framehorn not to the front for a start.

Now depending what year the box is going in you may not need a diff nosecone but just the correct front mount. Later bugs had a 3 bolt chassis mount but earliers had differing types of 2 bolt.

More detail is required. generally post 60's bugs used the same box with different mounts

post some pics so peeps in the know can help you out..
