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?

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 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.
