MK1 16v conversion Q

[roccolister@hotmail.com (Craig Williams)]

You could have interference with your hood. First of all, but sure to use 
the passanger side mount from your MK1, and not the on fron the 16V. If you 
use the 16V one you are sure to have interference and may even have to cut 
away at part uf the hood support to make way for full throttle motion.

If you are using the MK1 side mount, you still might have minor 
interference. I didn't with my 1.8 but I do with my 2.0. And...only while 
it's running. I think It come up and smacks the hood on a hard downshift or 
something, because I checked it in the garage and it did not hit.

At any rate, you'd be safe by grinding down the top of the throttle cable 
holder, or drilling the holes out enought to lower it a little.
