Accessory bracket adapter for early VW block

Post by vwnut8392 »

Have you ever tried to bolt an MK3 accessory bracket to an early 1.8l block and realize that you can only use 3 of the 4 bolt holes? well me and my friend came up with a solution to that problem and that is our adapter block. if your making some decent power out of your engine and you have your accessory bracket bolted on by only 3 bolts im sure you have cracked the bracket or the belt slipped off at least once. well the problem is without all 4 holes being used to fasten the bracket the accessory belt bracket twists under power which is not good. i am selling these at 45.00 shipped in the USA, over seas shipping will see additional shipping fee's.

Only problem with that is not every single early block has those 2 mounting tabs
This is a solution that I have:

Not sure if you are catering to the v-belt guys but a simple spacer with the upper right water pump bolt being secured by a counter sunk SC screw does the trick.
