AAZ into '72 bay parts list ?

[mushroom]

Is there a definitive parts list for fitting the AAZ into a bay ?
I've stripped a MK3 golf down and kept the loom, fusebox, dash, ignition switch, radiator and exhaust system just in case I need anything.
I'm guessing I need a T25 bellhousing to fit to the 1600 bay gearbox ?

I just want to get everything together first so it's off the road for the least amount of time

cheers

theres a good 'how to' over on the brick yard site in their tech section - although it relates to T25s its essentially the same parts.

cheers I'll go have look over there

is it this one ? http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/VehicleSpecific/T3/info/mods/aaz.htm

or do you mean the tech section on the forum ?

thats the one....in the tech section you will find various posts relating to this conversion tho so also worth a search (probably some from me too from when i converted a t25 a while back!)

From memory the essential bits youll need will be the t25 wedge sump, matching oil pump - the rest you can make/ use or modify the AAZ donor parts.

If you do decide to stick with T25 stuff then JX engine mounts, & a longer oil return for the turbo if you use the t25 JX exhasut and turbo manifold will be required.

you can use a t25 Diesel bellhousing or Kennedy do an adaptor plate.

the cheapest way possible using VW bits ideally

I've nearly got everything together, the lawn mower came out today
a couple more questions though
1. Which clutch do I use ? AAZ or bay ?
2. T25 bellhousing. Can I used the golf starter in it ?
3. How do I mount the bellhousing after I've taken the support bracket out ? I see 13 window deluxe's one in the pic with it out but no mention or pic of how he mounted it after then

Hello,
1. I used the JX clutch and Flywheel.
2. You can use the T25 starter when you lift the tank and make a cutout for the magnetic switch / solenoid. The better way is to go for the golf mk3 TDI starter (2KW). YouŽll have to fab an adaptorplate to use it.
3. There is no need for a mounting. Compare it to a T25 Diesel.

Regards from Germany

1. I haven't got a JX engine
2. I haven't got a T25 either, maybe I'll adapt the TD golf one
3. I'll try and find a pic of a T25 diesel gearbox somewhere
