I still think reckon (as per mine) it could still be a genuine original swing axle gearbox but with an unusual gearbox code.

I'd agree Andy. Deffo a S/A box but has had some work somewhere and has been recoded.

As for the pan/tub seal, I stuck mine down with something called 'Sticks Like Sh!t' from Evostick...

Type 3 used swing axles up until the mid to late 60's and as said vw do some very different build standards throughout the globe.

Tiger seal is a good product for chassis to body, its black looks same as silicon when dried wont rust the metal (like silicon based products) remains flexible so wont crack and it make a water / air tight seal as well as gripping the seal in place, approx 12 to 15 quid a tube, used to bond new car body panels together gone are the days of welding .

Thanks very much all
