Actually no.
The ring is not flipped inside the trans.
The entire trans has been modified to run completely upside down. So the entire transaxle is flipped (upside down and backwards).
Then an extention to the input side to move the engine forward.
Now all this puts the engine 6 inches lower than a normal vw.
My drain plug is 3-1/2 inches off the ground without any weight on the trike.
Total trike is 48 inches wide with a 66 inch wheelbase.
It is parked for the summer. My little girl is racing dirt track and all my time is involved in her hobby.
You have to build it before it can be called custom.:hmm:
