Well I am waiting by my letter box, but damn it is cold so I am going inside.

Oh and since it has been 10 minutes since my post I now know for a fact that and EJ 22 will not fit into an L Bug without cutting. If you moved the
box fwd 50mm it would but not in the stock position.
Oh well all to hard, anyone have a 1916 for sale cheap ? with warranty and fuel injection ?

Use a really big hammer and you wont need to cut.

mm well I sort of did, but since I know a good body guy I am sure he can make it pretty. In fact I hot it so hard the rear of the bug just fell off...

It'll be ok the rear bumper will hold it all together , well sort of anyway , and the 75's have got a huge ass anyway

Yep they do but you need to cut the inner panels, modify the oil filler and remove the engine bay sealing tin.
Then skin the rear clip before you put it back on.
But it fits .... at least it would I am sure if I was doing such a thing based on my internet search and tyre kicking.
