Hi Doro, just read this thread tonight.
If you get yourself a metal plate (alum or steel) and follow the directions I have on my site in this word document -
http://stweb.peelschools.org/sssweb/TTI-WEB/cars/Adapter Notes and Tips.doc
you should not need the template for the engine.
If you use the 016 it has a pilot diameter of 18MM. What I did was make a tool that fits into the BMW crank and has a 18MM stub on it.
Now make some bolts into center punches. Remove the cap heads and grind to a point. Thread them into the engine block then hit the plate to make your drill marks. Remove the plate and drill your holes. Transfer the plate to the transmission (it will fit onto the input perfectly) and transfer punch the hole centers to the plate and drill it.
You now have a perfectly centered adapter plate but you never actually took a single measurement.
I spaced mine out just enough (one inch) to clear the stock BMW ring gear then made a flywheel to the Audi specs. (these are on my site too in the word doc mentioned above) I have it running now with zero vibration. I could not be happier with the balance.
I should be test driving the clutch and flywheel this weekend.
Cheers;
Jim
Hi Grusse,

The 016 isn't very strong, but quite a bit cheaper than the Porsche units.

Hi, I used a similar process....I had the adaptor plate laser cut to shape and using that methods, transfered all the bolt hole. Then made a dummy spigot of the correct length to engage the gearbox input shaft, stood the motor on its head and hoisted vertical!y the gear box above, gently lowered it down to sit on the adaptor plate and was then able to check alignment and shaft rotation. This then meant all was true so clamped the assembly together and then drilled some alignment pins in to secure motor/g box. Then you can set about drilling / marking the gearbox bolts. With it still in this position, you can check alignment anytime. Transferring the original dowel pin holes is tricky.
