He may be only visiting here occasionally. If he doesn't get back to you shortly, send me a PM and I will forward you his email address and phone number which may be a faster way to get hold of him.

For what it's worth, I know ARP hardware has been very difficult to obtain in the last couple of years so Anders might not have any in stock. Tom Bryant recently wrote on the old D24 email list about his experience attempting to order a set of ARP studs for a D24T engine that he just received this month (Oct 2022) after ordering and paying for them sometime in late 2021.

But maybe they have fixed the supply issues now. Anders would know.

Worst case, you can always call ARP and order their kit for the 4-cylinder VW diesel engines and then have them sell you a few extra "a la carte" pieces (4x each of the stud, nut, and washer plus a little more of their fancy grease) to get enough hardware to do the D24T engine that needs 14 fasteners rather than 10.

I didn't have to move the drivetrain back any but did have to cut a notch out of the core support between the hood lathead. then added a single motor mount and support bar tothe front of the engine and car to support the weight since I used the VW mount holes in the back portion of the engine. So far I have everything working including the stock tach and gauges.
Speaking for myself, I would love to see more of the details. 80s Audis and 80s Volvos are about equal favorites of mine. How about a video for youtube? Maybe easier than posting a bunch of photos?

You should be able to upload them here also if they are not too large.
