I turned down the mazda flywheel until it would fit in the Porsche bell housing.
Then cut the ring gear off a vw type 1 flywheel, leaving a stepped inner flange.
Put the vw type 1 ring on the mazda flywheel.
With the 228mm Mazda pressure plate, a vw type 5 disc and throw out bearing. Modified the Porsche fork and guide sleeve.
So in the end I had a vw type1 ring to engage.....just at an odd depth from flange.
So I made an adapter flange that bolts to the Porsche bell housing that moves a vw jetta tdi starter out to depth and over to gear pitch diameter.
Simple enough huh?
It all looks like it is supposed to be that way........

I guess I didn't get a picture of the adapter alone.
Here you can see some of it sandwiched between the starter.
It has the step and bolt pattern on one side to fit Porsche bell housing.
And the step and bolts for the tdi starter on the other.
The steps are not concentric to each other.....as the starter had to move over (different number of teeth on bendix).
Had to measure the difference in pitch diameter.

i love learning stuff like that i didn't know. filed away for future reference. so what made you think to use the mazda flywheel? is that a pretty common thing too?

Well....no....I do not think is is a common thing to hook a Mazda KL v6 to a Porsche 901 transmission.
At first I thought I would have to make a flywheel from scratch.
Did not think I could get the mazda flywheel in the Porsche bell housing.
It is so close.....but it is in there
So it was the flywheel that goes to the mazda engine.....I had it already. But now the outside diameter is similar to the vw or Porsche.

Those 70's flares are gone.....now making a wide body look.
The fenders had to be hacked a lot. I had cut around 4" out of them just to get the body down to position. It has drop spindles, beam adjusters, pie cut, and a body drop.

They are not huge.....but it will be hard to get them hot enough to stick being this light weight.
Just like the murdercycle.....it is light and I can not get the tires hot enough to even squeal a little.......just scratch and leave light loose powder black marks.
