Hey @ndy.
Im sitting with the exact same problem. I have already got my new golf motor,
now where can i get the adapter plate & f/wheel from? An average price would also help.
Pls keep in mind that im from Mozambique but i do pass your area often going to Klerksdorp.

Do not want to get your thread locked,

but was it ME,

I would fit a bad ass Type 4 into it, after all,

a buggy is meant to be Aircooled.
