1963 ragtop beetle project - gone to a new home
Due to some forum problems I can't post replies to the other thread and the pictures aren't loading - I am not sure how many posts were lost so I
guess I'll start again here.
Here is a pic of the 36hp doghouse shroud with fibreglass oil cooler extension piece to accommodate the type IV cooler.

Here the alternator was bottoming out on the stand on the front lip. Fortunately was able to send the stand back and had it replaced with one that
wasn't machined down so far in the cradle - quick mockup tonight shows it is a much better fit.
Sorted out the pulley problems as well - due to the different position of the fanshroud, the alternator pulley doesn't line up with the crank pulley.
Hard to explain how I got it sorted so I'll take some pics soon.
Also rear spacers are on (35mm width) so wheels sit nicely under the gaurds. Will be getting the rollcage sorted soon, then exhaust, then all systems
go for body work to hopefully have it all done for valla (fingers crossed).

New alternator stand is a much better fit - still some minor clearancing required on stand but alternator is sitting in cradle nicely now.

Pulley was sorted by putting a collar which slips over the woodruff key on back to front, then the front half of the pulley back to front, then used
the front half of a replacement pulley for the actual front half (if that all makes sense).

And another reverse angle shot - tyre is sitting nice and flush with edge of gaurd - camber is pretty much what I was after - may have to raise rear
up slightly once all weight is loaded in the car.

On the removable rear apron mod had to drill out the lower two bolt holes and then trim the collar on the inside to clear the 5mm thick steel brackets
(see next pic)

Here are the two steel 5mm thick plates around 250mm long and 30mm wide. These are to provide some support so the bolts that hold the mudgaurds on
will sandwich the apron in and hold it in place. Steel nuts are welded on after drilling holes to clear the collar left behind.

This is to show how much of the rear apron (replacement) panel had to be trimmed to clear the body when installing/removing it.

Thanks again guys - c'mon Craig I have a 68 bug as well as my 64 double door split waiting in line for resto after this one!! Also trying to finish
reno's on our house (Something which was taken care of for you :P
Swingaxle was because originally I was going more a cal-looker with fuchs, fats and skinnys - I bought a heavy duty side plate and super diff from the
US so once I had them I didn't want to turn back to IRS. If I had my time again I'd start with a ball joint IRS pan though. Ah well.
Tomorrow will bring the completion of rear apron, hopefully final mockup of cooling "tin", weld in nuts onto firewall to mount regulator. Car is
booked in next week for 4 point roll cage.

Yep Brad George is a good bloke - hope he gives me a good price on the cage - we've spent enough money there recently too!
Wheels are replica Porsche 5x130 Cup3 (Turbo Twist) - 17x7.5 ET52
