Rear Hub

Anyone recognise this rear hub and carrier? It could very well be a one off but I'm thinking early VW/Porsche maybe from the engine that's being used.

911 gearbox (diff fipped over), bug engine and I think thats the 1303 rear hub center & bearings in a custom upright

much of the early porsche an vw parts were very similar and many interchangable

1303 rear suspension -

Looks custom to me and part of super, super adjustable set-up.

That will take some alignment work to get all 4 wheels pointing in the same direction.

Bah, bloody beer playing tricks on my memory again. Thanks for that Captain Josh
Mr Whippy, I think you're bang on the money there, bloody amazing. Its actually a Porsche 914 engine but as you say very much the same as VW. Cheers.
