More details about the fuel cell please?
the fuel cell is like this one abit. comes with saftey cap, so if you roll the car the ball inside the cap will stop the fuel flowing out.
also has a small sight gauge fabricated into it as well. the cell has never been filled with fuel

I'm interested in the gripper but need a little more info on use age, mileage, service history/maintainance etc.

http://www.clutch-specialists.co.uk/info-which-clutch
i bought the gearbox off a fellow forum member who bought it off the guy who ran this polo
the 1978 mk1 g40 turbo players

What size is the fuel tank?
Off the top of my head I think it's a 6/8 gallon tank
Alright dude, is the cage a bolt-in or a Weld in kit?
Alright andy :)
It's a bolt in jobbie.
Stab in the dark but do you have the bracket that bolts from the manifold to the eaton charger? Cheers

Not bad cheers dude. Yourself?
I popped into Yarmouth about a year ago on a work mission. Spotted a green caddy at a tyre shop. Popped in and had a chat, guy said he was into beetles, mentioned a mate of his was building a G40. That must have been you he was referring to!?
Got any pics of the cage?
I got my name on the eaton kit mate sorry

I know the car, hence the questions about service history of the box and diff.
If it was the same gearbox JBM put in, it's a cup car unit, not gripper.
