[Public-list] Engine Beds

[Matthew Hay]

Has anyone installed their new diesel onto the existing A4 engine beds and 
brackets in the 1968 or pre-liner A-30?  The mechanic I am working with has 
suggested welding some steel to make the Beta BD722 20 horse (which weighs 
less then the A4) fit onto the A4 brackets.  The brackets appear to be 
corrosion free and the beds are in good shape.  Has anyone done this or is 
it imperative to re-doe the entire beds and brackets?  The mechanic seems to 
think that his way would work fine and save me a lot of money and time?  I 
am really confused.  Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Matthew #314
