That's a six rib, the most sturdy bus box made.

BTW, if you're going to use it in a beetle or older bus, that box is convertible to nose shift - if don't remember totally wrong.

Cheers Sven great help, thought it was a six rib. Anybody have any idea what parts are needed to convert to nose shift and how much it will cost.
Thanks Ian.

You need the nose cone and the incoming axle. The shitfting parts are the same (once again, I think I remember correctly...).
On the other hand, it's easy to make a really good, distinct shifting mechanism that fits a side shifter.
