Kolbers, here is a redrive for VWs I stumbled upon:

Can't find much info but it looks like he uses the clutch springs for

resonance problems.  Could be a good idea.



BTW, I bought those bent gear legs.  Probably gather dust along with  

the rest of my junk.



BB, too durn hot here in NY!

Thanks for sharing. The VW is such a great engine I'm not surprised people 

are trying to develop better redrives for them. I hope it works. It sounds 

like a one off project. I know Gene Smith at Valley Engineering tried 

springs on their belt drives. His evaluation was that it didn't help enough 

to make it worth doing at least on their redrive. Also the Kolb VW factory 

mount currently works with a redrive mounted on the pulley end of the 

engine. A flywheel end mount would be a easy change but you would need to 

work with Kolb to get it done or do it yourself.



The guy talks about using the aluminum case on his VW. Steve Bennet at Great 

Plaines contends that the aluminum case it too heavy for the benefits it 

gives.
