I'm in the middle of a TD conversion for my 1980 air cooled to 1.6TD
with rad and heat.

I'm taking pictures as I go and will let you all know how it ends up in
the end.
the 1980 body has the front mount mounts, but not the rear, one has to
fabricate a rear mount, but there are some stock thru holes and I'll
likely be able to remake some after I've hung my engine later.

another area of difficulty is the 1980 has a RUBBER fuel filler
insert/restriction that appears to be part of the nozel seal. I think I
have to ream/cut the center out with a sharp razor to facilitate the
Diesel nozel to fit in the filler neck.

thanks for the website, and I'll forward you a write up and images once
i've completed my deadline of Oct1st for Westies @ Watkins.

I've started a collection of info about turbo diesel install. It could
be of interest to other I4 installs.

So far only Wade Yorke's install is listed, but more is on its way.
Anyone who has an example they would like to have featured, drop me a
line.
