I've had one on ebay recently, complete with a Subaru Liberty for $1200. You could get a permit and drive it home.

They are more expensive, but you don't have the problem of the adaptor out of line, and you get to use the standard Subaru flywheel, starter etc
These ones are available in Brisbane

They are certainly a much better option than adapter plates, the down side is Kombi gearing sucks in a street bug unless you enjoy that Mack truck
driving experience.

One lesson I learned the hard way is don't cheap out on adaptor kits, just get one of Volksconversions adaptors and fit and forget.
I'll explain my tale of woe in my SubaBeetle thread

Well I couldn't be happier with mine unless I'd bought it in the first place instead of Seagulls.
They can't be all bad, there's only a bazillion of them out there after more than 30 years.

Sorry I have had 3 Shermann Plates (1x EA82, 2x EJ) and have been dissapointed with the machining. I have a KEP plate also and it is a piece of art in
comparison.
If you go the bellhousing route, I found SmallCar are good to deal with directly.

Thanks lovebuggy,
Glad I can get it from an hour away, only question I have is and I have never bought overseas as always prefer local, but how much is freight from us?
The kit is $574 in America as opposed to $990. It's only 300 bucks really and they have been through the hassle of getting it here, advertising on
their site paying to have them on hand etc, etc.
Only asking. Still so much better than adaptor plate.
