Been a while since I was last on, god to see the zone is still going strong.

I'm chasing the measurements of the rear beam mounts (the ones that go into the body). I need the distance between the holes please. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Aweesome thanks. Golf is 1110 centre to centre. So I'd need to cut and shut the E30 beamand weld on new mounts.

awd.

VR5, 6 speed 4mo gearbox, and trying to work out how to make the rear end work. E30 beam seems the best fit. Track is almost the same, but the mount is wider, but would require less fab work.

I wish I didn't break the 340... it'd kick half the Aussie stuff on the roads.....

But they have made AWD Golfs for nearly 20 years. A lot of them kicking round with willy-waving BHP figures and able to put it down.

Why the need to re-invent the wheel?
