a2 subframe measurements



ok, fellas, bonus time for me is around the corner (2nd of next month). this
means i can finally get out of my slump on developing the twin. im currently
at a standstill on the frame design, as it hinges on my choice of either a1
or a2 style engine mounting. Dan Bubb has an a2 frame lined up for me (some
time in the near future, not exact on time). My main problem right now is
that to go the a2 subframe route i need:
1. to be sure i'll be able to gather 2 complete a2 subframes (+ all
mounts/brackets/a-arms/power steering/etc) within 6 months or so. Dan has me
covered on most of one, so im still looking for options for the other.
2. have accurate measurements of the a2 bracketry so i can correctly design
the frame (something which must happen over the next couple of weeks).
pictures can also be good.

the ideal situation would be for me to have an a2 subframe on-hand, but i
realize thats near impossible at the moment. i would go rape one from a
junkyard, but this area of SC seems to be way lacking in vw's in general.
right now my best shot at a subframe (locally) is in my own front yard, but
the wife would kill me if i took her jetta out of commission for a week just
for some measurements.

basically i'm asking/begging for any possible help on #1/#2 above. whatever
you can contribute would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
