I am using a 72 super beetle transaxle with a type 4 engine (73 bus) in a 69 karmann ghia. I ran into a problem with the fuel pump. It won't fit because the transaxle mount gets in the way. Is there a way to extend the pump outward an inch or so to give it a little room and still be able to use the mechanical pump? Will I have to use an electric pump? If so, Do I put a block-off plate where the mechanical pump was? Thanks for any help you can give. I'm so close to starting it up an ran into this unexpected challenge.
