I am trying to find anyone or a company that has or still

to a Volkswagen transaxle.

Why not fabricate something yourself?

Guys who build Harley drag bikes could figure it out.

The manufacturers of the Harley to vw adapters quit producing them due to crankshaft failures of the Harley engine.

Yeah, that's a lot of weight for an unbalanced V-twin to be pushing around.

I'm thinking that a full dresser is about 800#.

A Harley motor is sorta crude...un-balanced.

These guys are the leaders w/adapters
