I am talking about the drive Steve had many years ago. I was a cast "bullet" extension housing with a prop extension shaft, anti-vibration link, and thrust bearing. It was not a PSRU.
............ That sounds simular to what I saw on the Wittman V-Witt at the auction this weekend. I should have taken a photo. It was a casting that bolted to the VW case in the same location where the transmission was originally. There was a steel shaft that bolted to the end of the crankshaft and went forward passing through this casting about a foot forward where there was a large bearing then the end of this shaft was tapered and looked like it would hold a Continental prop hub. Neat setup that was direct drive though I would guess the front bearing would need changed out every couple hundred hours. This casting made for a very long tapered/streamlined nose on the airplane. There was no provision for electric start. Also the magneto was driven from the pulley end of the crankshaft. The engine overall length was long for a VW install and the magneto did pass through the firewall. Kevin Golden Harrisonville, MO
