Hi mate...I might be interested because I'm thinking of building a better motor for my type 3! What make and version is the case?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve, NFI, nothing is written on it except a number from memory. I will get it for you tonight. You are in Melb so what don't you drop on and have a look?

Gday again,

Unfortunately I've worked out what it's gonna cost to get my squareback roadworthy, and it looks like a new engine aint gonna be in the budget at the moment. Sorry to muck you around but that counts me out for the case. I'm sure you wont have too many probs selling it though...looks good for the price.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Raf

Do you know if it's been machine out for any clearence's or welded behind third.

karmannghia60 - September 29th, 2004 at 08:25 AM

Hey Nic, I don't think so. Its exactly as it was bought. Certainly no machining done to it

havent some people said some bad things about aluminium cases? i may be confused. it sure looks damn nice. is there any bad points to them?

lugnuts - September 30th, 2004 at 02:30 AM

Yeah some of the yanks bin saying theres a few things wrong with them,BUT some others bin saying the mag cases arnt as good as they usta be,so there, lifes a gamble hey;)

This is how it goes..... the ali cases are stronger than the mag cases... by a long shot! They are made by the same company as the mag cases but new castings were made to eliminate any weaknesses from old mag case. The new tooling cost the company a mint, and the results are outstanding... bigger webs inside and stronger overall!
