Where can I buy this jig? Is it for sale on ebay?

[@briannthara9109]

. Im doing a similar build. I was wondering if you ever got to finish this build?

[@MonkeyWithAWrench]

you should not have cut the notches in the frame horns so deep. i would really recommend building a support tube that runs from the rear hoop of the frame to the frame horns as close to the trans mount as possible otherwise you will have issues with the horns bending. obviously make those tubes removable so you can pull the trans without having to pull off the cv flanges. keep all the bolts for the supports in double shear to make sure they will not deflect and break. trust me, i made this mistake once before.

Thanks for the tips. I welded supports to the ends of the frame horns. I don't see much info on this these days so it is nice to get some help!

[@MonkeyWithAWrench]

no problem, if you need any help or have questions check out shoptalkforums if you aren't already on there. tons of knowledgeable people and posts on there.

What is the strongest gearbox you could tell me to use?

[@brianchisnell1548]

All VWs are IRS. VW terms are swing axle and double jointed axle. From the book

[@robertoconnor1784]

We just always replaced swing torsion housings with IRS ones much easier that way.
