Does anyone have a nice clear picture or two of their pan alone (no body) with just the SWING AXLE trans and axles installed. Maybe a series of assembly pics from a couple or three angles?
A VW pan complete with trans installed. Anything like that?
Maybe a few good links to some pictures?
I have the VW swing axle trans pretty much installed in my 356SC, but I need some reference pics on the stock VW installation.
On a VW the shocks mount forward of, and under the axle tubes and connect to the upper mounts which are cast pieces and comprise part of the torsion tube assembly.
The 356 shocks mount rearwards of the axle tubes and connect to mounts welded to the inner fender wells.
I need some pics of the bare VW pan assembly to see if I might be better off rotating the tubes to stock VW position and fabricating upper mounts that mimic the VW positioning and angle. The 356 seems to mount the shocks straight up and down, I THINK that the VW set-up is angled preventing some of the side to side movement that a panhard rod would normally do.
Anyway, I need pics before going any further. Any help ? ! ? ! ? !
Thanks !
