Hi Fred,
Thank you for taking the time and answering my post, yes I will post some photo's when I get into it ,I have the 850 sedan but at the moment just collecting parts to be ready! Front OT 1600/2000 Grill seems tobe a problem, so I have asked Guy for help in that one, in remake or maybe a simca is close he said, just waiting to look at a photo of them before buying, I normally make all I need but looks like something that a bought one would look better than what I could do.
Kind Regards Rubino

Hello Rubino,

I'm going to make my own frontgrill out of stainless steel. See pics a few pages back.
I can show you the result when it finished and can make a second one or more ofcourse.

I hope to finish my OT early 2013.

Groet,
Fred

Hi Fred,
I would love to tell you I'm a multi-linguist........but the truth is Google translate is a fantastic thing! I can read and understand several languages but dutch is not one sorry,my background is Israeli but I am first born in Australian!(don't hold that against me,HaHa!)
The language we all understand here is OT Abarth! of this I see you speak fluently and have my respect!
Regards,Rubino

Hi Fred
I wanted to ask you because you have done it , why did you choose the porsche 901 gearbox? speedo cable drive? gear ratios? drive plate size?
I have a vw type 3 and was going to use it,I have the adaptor and axels, but after reading most people use the 901 I have to ask, is there a upside to me dumping the vw box for the 901?  will the axels still fit?
Regards, Rubino

Hi Rubino,

At first I want to use the 914 gearbox, cheaper than the 911, but still the 901 type.
I want to use the 901 type, because it is a 5-speed gearbox. I don't know if the VW type 3 is a 5-speed gearbox!?
You can use the cable for the speedo, but I've got an electronic one, so no problems with other cables.

I can't tell you if the axels still fit!!

Have good 2013 and hopefully a lot of fun with building your OT1600!!

Groet,
Fred

I notify a difference between the 914 gearbox and the 911 gearbox.
Both 901 types, but the 914 where smaller.
