Engine & Gearbox / Re: Golf Driver 1600cc 1990 carburator top cover ( airbox)
Last post by philip -
Hi, ty, yes i knew it was a bit confusing. So first picture is what i bought on e-bay, problably wrong, as you can see, it's got a joint inserted in the cab cover, mine doesn't and seems it does not need one for a Golf mk2 Driver ?. The second pic is about holding the full  airbox. I got this part but it's not the right one as it's got 2 screws,... And mine only got one with the rubber as per photo of what i need ?
 if it makes sense ??

A couple of steps closer last night.
A big puller was borrowed to get the gears apart so we could reach the bearing near the bottom of the gear stack. I didn’t think it was going to come apart, but after applying a bit of heat it suddenly popped — scared the living poo out of me 😂

Next job was to clean this all up and not cock the order up!


Ran out of time again, but despite there being no photos, it’s now back in one piece. The box is basically ready to be rebuilt properly, apart from one bearing in the casing that still hasn’t been done yet.
I doubt I’ll get the chance to finish it over the weekend, or even next week, so for now I just need to sit patiently and wait for some spare time that lines up with Dan as well so we can get it finished off.
