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

Is it fitted to an ATV box?

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 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.
