Front ARB Mount (notching for toothed belts)

Dan · April 30, 2009, 09:17:13 PM

I'm interested to see the difference (if anyone has any pictures) of the G40 front ARB mount compared to the other Mk3 polo's. I think it's notched slightly to take into account the belts. As I'm doing a G40 conversion which will be using a toothed belt, I need to see a bit better where to notch the ARB mount.

Thanks

My '92 CL had exactly the same ARB mount as the '91 G40 donor car I bought off Rick, so you might be okay. I didn't need to file any of it when running toothies.

I had to cut a notch out of the mount on my g40 when I first bought it. Since it was a conversion it never had the proper g40 one with a notch in it and the toothed belt would catch every now and then. Nothing Mr Angle Grinder couldn't soon take care of though

Ok, cheers. Some get away with it, others need a bit of metal removing. The last one I converted did and I don't wan't to chance it when it's all being painted.

If you could get a pic that would be great, Pete.

Will be getting the grinder out, just want to remove the right amount of material in the right area.
