Hi,

I have a 1963 VW bug that I just installed a 40HP Judson on. All is well accept when I put the lid down, the edge of the main pulley on the supercharger rubs the deck lid. Any ideas on what I should do? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Judson 40 hp installation instructions section F-1.:
"Remove wire from clamp at tail light. Break clamp off of lid by bending back and forth. Cut bottom bolt of tail light flush with nut if it rubs on the supercharger pulley with deck lid closed. Loosen tail light wire in other clamp and pull wire up and loop over top right hand bolt as shown."

by "tail light" they mean license light, sometimes I've just removed the taillight from the lid and unscrewed the stud right out of the housing and left it off, I hate bending stuff back and forth until it breaks off too but that's right out of the instruction sheet, 40 hp Judsons rub at the license light/wire area, that's normal operation, you can make a custom front trans mount with offset holes to tilt the engine at a lower angle, it doesn't take much, also brand new rear motor mounts tend to sit the engine up higher than old squished ones,
