Newbie here. Glad to find there are some more crazies in this world.
A couple of years ago, I started to build a Westy Syncro for my best bud, then all kinds of things ground the project to a halt. Where I left off was ordering what was SUPPOSED to be a 2.4 flywheel, clutch and starter - assuming that it mounted the way the 2.5 TDI does.
Well, I don't have ETKA so I need some advice. The stuff I have has the ring gear on the wrong side (for those who aren't aware, the starter on this installation is on the egine side - freeing up space around the fuel tank).
What flywheel, clutch, pressure plate and starter do I need?? I would like to keep the 228 clutch and cover that I have, if there is an appropriate flywheel.
I have everything else - 2.6 hydraulic motor mount, have converted to South African bellhousing, taller 4 and 5, torsen, decoupler, new beefed 4-5 hub and MTDI pump (it just wouldn't be right to go electronic). Will go liquid/air IC with front mount rad and change the gasser Webasto liquid heater to a ESPAR diesel fired unit.
