20vt mk1 golf cabrio

does anybody feel like finishing my 20vt mk1 golf cabrio for mecf_emoticons__BangHead:5 years and counting engine and gearbox only just mounted and im not sure if that is fitted right. please help…..

Hi Gary,

What seems to be the problem. Perhaps if you asked on here there are loads of folk who have done the conversion in many different forms who could assist you. Don't give up just yet mate  

the engine is at an angle and the bonnet dont shut properly and then i need someone to wire it all in, i have got to the point of just paying someone to finish it all, i have very little time with family and work its just not gettin done. but i wont give up i want this machine on the road.

Whereabouts are you located? Someone should be able to recommend a reputable place local to you.

 

im in trowbridge, wiltshire

Post up some pics of the way your engines sitting and the mounts🔭

Hi Gary,

Not being thick at all mate it's a common question. You will need an account with a picture hosting website like Photobucket.

Have a read of THIS thread which should point you in the right direction.

Hi peps, mine sits on an angle, there's a small pipe on top if the inlet manifold close to the throttle body that foals on the bonnet . I just cut and blanked it. I reckon we both bought the cheap conversion mount that takes a standard mk1 gear box mount! this makes them sit higher. Mine shuts ok tho with no major fouling!   Don't give up now Gary , you have ups and downs with any conversion… My downs wiring at the mo (standard ecu ect)

pics of the mounts would help out, it might be that you have mounted it wrong or got the wrong ones, I know peterg60 had a similar issue

yes i brought a driver side mount from @@@@@@ and had same issue as you couldnt close bonnet. brought a driver side mount from crazyquiff and no problem .  must be the angle they weld the mount. my first purchase must of been a guess but with crazyqiff they must of tried and tested and i had no more clearance issues. very good price aswell

Does that help Gary mate with your issues? Any problems just ask mate I am sure we can help.

Keep the faith mate.    

thanks for your help guys i will have to look again when i get the chance i got loads of other work to keep me going, i will worry about it another day/year. im sure we will speak again. cheers gary.

         

Gary you could consider TSR performance, they are familiar with these conversions and not a million miles from you i think
