Title: Safer boot for a Phaeton


DougMorency - May 25, 2008 12:36 PM (GMT)
I own a 1984 Beva which is made here in Canada and I was not impressed with the fuel tank just sitting out back, so I had the rear strenghtened to mount the fuel cell and the battery in the boot.

Here is some pictures that I hope will be of some help to others.

The rear diff is from a 83 celica and I am looking for information on what is required to mount tr6 hubs onto spitfire spindles so I can have the same bolt pattern.

Cheers Doug interesting to see the detail on the Beva chassis compared to the Dutton

I know these pictures are a few years old now - how is the rebuild going

What engine is the car running?

What is the PCD for the wheel bolts on the axle

The car has been sitting for 2 years since I had the rear end rebuilt, and I don't this I will be happy with the 305 v8 and the auto, so I am checking to see what all my options are, but I know that I will do with a stick tranny, unless I use a bike engine.

The bolt patter is 4x113.4 same as the TR6, and I am hoping to find some info on mating them to the spitfire spindle.

I was even continplating to build a recirculation hydraulic engine of some sort use a lawnmower engine to power the pumps, but I am still looking :)
