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 
madness is in the eye of the beholder  |
