Just starting on my Type 4 kit and about to start on installing the Transmission beginning with the reverse box. Does anybody have any build photos of their installation of the box in their car? It seems to me that the setting up this is key to getting the rest lined up. Any help gratefully apprecia...

I had the same problem with my 1200 Sports.
Rather than risk buggering up the hole, I did a quick Google search and found a small local engineering firm that did bespoke jobs.
Gave it to them. £30 for a drill out and helicoil.
It is always going to be risky if you use a hand-drill.

I will getting my type 4 kit very soon.
A quick question .......
How many people does in take to lift the chassis onto trestles?

Sometimes you just have to have the courage of your covictions.
Ive drilled the holes M6 to a depth of 13mm. No problem.
A couple of titanium exhaust studs will fit nicely with a bit of studlocker.
Hope this helps anybody who had thought of the same thing.

Has anybody drilled into these two lugs on top of the 1200 sport 2V engine. Located between the cylinders towards the back. They appear to be solid in construction. They would be ideal for fitting a bracket. I was thinking drill and tap to M6 to 10 mm depth. Fit studs with green loctite. Check out t...

I was checking out a previous post regarding panel fasteners. So many choices but I always think simplest is best. After much searching I came across these quick release fasteners. They look good and are quick release. Above all they are simple. Here's a link ..... https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/pi...
