hopefully you cant get an of the shelf mount for the eaton m45.

somewhere may have drawings or even a few brackets for M90 / M62  iirc brackets were quite simpel to make   shove the scharger were the alt was and alt where the ac pump was
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

A guy makes them n7ndo on edition38 or eatonmk2 on cgti. Goes where AC compressor usually goes. M45 is a bit small for an ABF though. Ideally you would want an m62 but they're hard to come by.

Had thought about the m62 but like u say hard to come by, but ill have a read up and see which would be best to use I've a few build threads and most seem to use the m45. Bigger is better tho so will have a look .

I doubt an E45 will be man enough, it is designed for up to a 1.6
