I want to drill the 3 hole through the bulkhead where the studs on the servo poke through to the reinforcement bracket on the rear.
I can see where I had welded the holes up but when I place the bracket the fitment isn't great.
Is there something between the bracket and the bulkhead I'm missing.
This is a picture of the part I'm referring to:

Question, how do you remove the drivetrain? Complete? Engine, trans, starter, exhaust, manifold? up and out or down and out ?
I fear the struggle when the car is newly painted and everything is perfect

I lifted the engine out but the crank pulley and back of the box are really tricky to manoeuvre but with a load leveller it's possible not too knock anything but won't risk it when I finish the paint for the final time

the project is not moving anywhere, I struggle a bit with ride height, wheel alignment. And I installed a mk2 cluster.
Other than that It seems like the weather is to bad for anymore testing, so I will begin on disassembling the car for paint

Is it possible to lower the car down onto the engine complete with manifolds ?? I also lifted the engine in the car the first (and only) time I did it and I'm glad it wasn't painted![]()

Yes it will go up in to the car with the exhaust manifolds on

Oh get some pics of the mk2 cluster. How come you went that route?

Yeah I still suck at the picture thing, sorry. But it really went well, it fits like stock and with the tacho It is really nice, also got a temp gauge now
![:P](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/cheeky.png)
I decided to lose the idea of a pre-facelift complete swap, I got everything needed, but then I change my mind, maybe to much work, maybe just me being lazy, but I chicken out when I should cut a weld the brackets, also the fresh air intake needed modification, and last, the shelf under the dash wouldn't fit…
I will update my project thread wit the pictures I have of other stuff

At least the drums are off and new disc and wheel bearings fitted.
Also received a Bosch 040 pump, I went for that instead of the 044 as it has an integrated strainer. Seriously larger than the mk1 Golf Bosch pump (see side by side photo).
Apparently the 040 is capable of 500bhp rather than the 044 which is rated at 750bhp so more than double what i need

Finally got round to welding the brake pedal reinforcement bracket to the chassis leg
![IMG_20191109_134507701.jpg IMG_20191109_134507701.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/mk1-golf-owners-club/image/upload/c_limit,w_768,f_auto,q_auto/v1573322849/uploads/attachments/5dc70060d11e9.jpg)
And then the massive ball ache getting the South African brake bar to fit!!! Trying to mark the position of the holes up in to the rain tray was a mission but managed to get everything square and secured.

Looking good. Does that mean I’d be a fool to try and fit my SA brake bar without removing the engine?

If you can remove the stock bar with the engine in situe then you should be OK.
If you haven't already check the position of the holes on the bulkhead to ensure they line up whilst the bar is pushed up against the rain tray.
You can convert a spare bolt in to a tool with a point like this to mark the position of the holes to drill in to the rain tray.
