Wanted Scrap Beetle Gearbox or empty Case

[nairb356]

Hi I need a scrap Beetle gearbox case to incorporate into an engine stand for a porsche 356
engine. Anything considered as I dont need the internals - even a broken case if the bellhousing area is intact, can collect anywhere in Ireland.
There must have been hundreds of these lying in ditches and farmyards all across the country - I only need one!!!

Call this guy, Dereck Sheane - 086 8409300

if you can find a scrap bay window bus case then the bellhousing just bolts off, saves an awful lot of cutting and messing trying to get the bellhousing section off a bug box

the bolt-pattern for the engine is the same as the bug, which is handy

Thanks folks, Ill call him tomorrow

He'll have either bug or bus and should know of knackered ones too!

Tried that guy a couple of times but always went to answerphone.
Got a complete bug swing axle gearbox(4 stud small diameter) + axles/hubs here in Galway Yesterday.

I only need the bellhousing + am prob going to keep the diff carrier if its the same as the 356
(some are). If anyone needs some parts or wants to exchange an empty case with good bellhousing (or van bellhousing) + 50 euros for a complete box + axles/hubs
Let me know soon before I start cutting!!

regards
Brian.
