jsync has a set in a box, so i can get a pic from there and ill get a pic of them fitted before it all goes back together properly.
Looks like I was right (phew!)I had a little wiggle with the trailing arm first to see what would happen, but was unsure if the camber reduction caused some toe-in/out. It would be a bloody expensive mistake if I got it wrong!
Thanks guys!

I know Chriss. These arent DCOE. All will be revealed when its all together and finished []
All the pictures and details will be posted on here first!

If i was doing this from the start, then i would have gone for a crossflow, but I dont want to distract from the original engine as a carbed GTI Eng is a bloody rare engine in itself. You can fits DCOEs with 12-20mm trumpets provided you make a sufficient headshield to combat the exhaust heat. im getting the manifold ceramic coated and the downpipe wrapped. if you were fitting DCOEs it would also be a good idea to make some kind of airbox or ducting device as well.

Repaired bulkhead now looks like this

theres been a bit of a change to the carb selection. If I fitted the single, it will involve a substantial [:0] modification to the bulkhead,

so Im fitting a pair of 40 downdraft carbs instead. Should hear this start up very soon (at last)

The work has been carried out by MJ now and the linkage kit has arrived. I still have loads of bits in boxes, along with a Schrick sump. Im just waiting on people.
