I was thinking about making some adapter rings for my back motor. If you're interested in using either a type2 CVT or Porsche 930 CVT, I could make more than 2.

Regarding axles, I'm going to get some semi-custom ones from the Driveshaft shop:
The Driveshaft Shop | Home page
They have a stock of axles, and use quality CVT's from GKN. They're not cheap, but I won't have to worry about a broken halfshaft flopping around at high speed.

For VW sand rail parts, here's a shop that sells just about every type of CV joint/axle for VW's: (I'm not sure about EMPI, to be honest....)
Rear Suspension

I did get a good recommendation for Sway-Away's axles for a good friend:
Sway-A-Way | Product List - Page 1

Combine that with some GKN CVT's and you'd have a nice reliable axle set.

I'm thinking ~1/8th plate with hot-rolled edges, and the rear mount will incorporate hinges for the rack and venting for the air-cooling fan.
