The Chopper Compendium

I did get a Jetta TDI starter adapted to the Porsche trans.

Now to make an adapter to put the VW Jetta TDI starter on the Porsche 901 trans in the correct place to engage the VW type 1 ring gear.

The whittled flywheel, Mazda pressure plate, VW type 5 disc and throw out....... All fit into the Porsche 901 bell housing.

One intake built, welded and cleaned up.
The other parts made and yet to weld.

Fuel rails roughed out. Started on the finish machine work....but a ways to go yet.

And dug through the junk boxes and found a few parts to use.
Boards to build on and a pressure regulator and a map sensor.

And the custom sleeve for the 901 trans to put a type 5 throw out bearing in it....with a modified 901 fork.

Half Mazda and half VW flywheel.

And this will be a flywheel.

Chunks of metal are now stacks.

All the intake manifold parts made from throttle body down.
Not welded yet......buy working on turning the chunks of metal on top into stacks.

Front beam going back together.

STOP NOW.

All the disc brakes made up.
Had to get them "blank".....as in not finish machined.
Then I had to make them fit my metric Enkie wheels.
So....all sleeved and bolt patterned.

Mazda pressure plate
Tight fit into the 901 bell housing.

I did decide to go with the Mazda pressure plate. I have a Jetta TDI STD shift diesel starter coming. I think I can modify it to fit around the Mazda pressure plate. Right now the plan is to thin down the Mazda flywheel so the clutch sticks out the right amount. Then use a type 5 vw disc. And a type...

I will probably have to make a flywheel.
But I would like to use the mazda clutch if I can get it into the bell housing.

So next is getting the trans fitted up and making the rear most sub frame to hold the tail of trans, radiator and hood hinge.
