Any pics of a CSP Heaterbox Python on a Beetle?

Anyone got a pic of the Python mounted with a Berg-style traction bar? I was wondering if the Python's silencer box would foul on the bar?

  thanks.


I used to run one before I bought the Python. It won't fit with the standard brackets and hanger because the muffler gets in the way, just as you say. I wondered about using a Type 3 engine mount or maybe some other mounting. I seem to remember the bar itself got in the way of the collector too.

Andrew:
What do you use instead of the tratcion bar?

PS I spoke to CSP and they also confirmed it won't fit.

JezWest:
Just the Berg mount on the trans. Seems to work just fine, it is a street car and I'm generally careful with the gearbox: it's the 47 year old original after all and I've got the (weaker?) short axles from a '61.

gkeeton@zbzoom.net:
Judging from this image from Sepi’s build, if the muffler is the main interference issue, could you possibly move the hangers of a Berg style traction under the apron on the inside of the bumper mounts? I suppose one could bite the bullet, and go all out with a shock tower truss style mount instead of a rear bar. Then you would have to have one that clears the heaterboxes.

Martin S.:
I’m now using the gray rubber mounts, the Berg trans midmount and an EMPI truss Bar kit along with a HD rear trans carrier.
The result now seems very solid and quieter than the berg cross bar and doesn’t have the interference problems.
