Re: G60 in a scirocco

["Allyn" <amalventano1@home.com>]

neal,
when i was picking up the rieger from ryan in texas, he showed me his mk1 he was working on. the
bottom half of the g60 was in and he even showed me the hole he was talking about. it isnt very odd
shaped, its just a hole that needs to be filled. also, i think its the side of a coolant passage.
ryan covered it with jb weld, and i have no idea if it'll work, heh.
supposedly the plate is there with the motor in a corrado, but our mount bracket wont fit on it with
the cover plate there. i imagine either the bracket or plate or both can be modified without having
to use jb welt. i know the stuff is good, but thats a bit of an extreme application.
sorry i dont know more about it for ya,
hope that info helps
al
