Thanks .
They're too tall for what i need to do.
I "have" to put dellortos on a wasserboxer in a type 3 to fit under the lid. Looks like the dellorto - type 1 very short manifolds are the only way. Maybe they're thick enough to fit the square ports...
To fit in a Fasty you'll need some Type3 DRLA/IDF manifolds & open them out to match the WBX ports - the T25 ones are still to high as the Fastback has a lower engine lid profile.
I have this for sale - Genuine 200mm T4 flywheel, freshly refaced etc. £150. Open it out for needle bearing in the centre and it will take any standard or uprated T1 200mm clutch
I put my rad in the back. The only cooling problems i had were with cheap plastic header tanks splitting - now have an ally one and no morre problems. I use the early 1.9 cooling system. I use a remote oil cooler instead of the 2.1 WBX cooler.
Bolting it in is the easy part - it's the cooling system that will take the time - there's no standard or right way to do it - be creative!

In a nut shell
tell me about it! i just ordered my hoses they come to 70 quid plus vat!! that's bout 140 usd.
that should be all for the time being, got my mate from vw to check my engine over and it needs a head but from what he can see he says it's ok.
have done most of the rad instalation and cooling ready for the engine and loom is al present and tidy, i will be testing the engine out of the car so as to overcome as many probs as pos.
i chopped the flages off bolted them to the heads the cut turned and welded to fit. it will do for now i think but i want to make a stainless setup at some point.
it is awesome. i tried it out today in the wet and was skidding all over.
oh and also i've been told to conect up the temp sender that is on the thermostat to keep an eye on it. does anybody know if the sender will work with a standard vdo gauge or do i need the vw one?
