Differential and Suspension
We were able to retain all of the stock mounting points for the suspension by angling the engine and diff by about 15 degrees. We wanted to be sure to be able to use the existing a-arms. Basically we built a framework that replicated all of the a-arm and shock mounts. Did have to change the axle lengths slightly. The differential is a standard VW Rabbit unit that we sealed to retain lube. The diff is supported by two plates with large sealed bearings. Sprockets bolt to the VW housing and we used a chain idler system for tension. The diff is really buried in there, but I will try to get some pics tomorrow. Thanks everyone for looking.
