Rear bump stops, the originals were
rusty and were only a plate
(the rubber stop was mounted on the diff I mounted Toyota Corolla rubber bump stops to allow the correct clearance between the tyre and rear guard

  |
Engine mounts, 8 mm plates welded into
the chassis rail
this is a nice clean way to set up engine mounts 2 bolts secure each mount |
 |
Front suspension mounted, including VW (Type three) heavy duty oil filled tube shocks, these are much better than Mini shocks some people use as there is more travel and the oil filled shocks give a great ride. |

Diff shortened 30 mm to get the wheel track OK for VSB14. Track is now 15mm over original. One side shortened 18mm other 12mm, tail shaft will also be more centred now Both axles shortened 12 mm. Welds ground down and you would never know good penetration through the pipe from welding |
