Re: Re registering the coupe

matching A15 to 60A 5 speed

hi ya, I have a A15 I'm working on as I'm almost ready to install with the 5 speed I had a couple of questions.. 1. I understand there are different brass bushings of some sort that go on the gearbox shaft and these have slight size differences depending on a 'factor'. What size bush do I need to fi...
