Installing a Getrag 240 into an Opel requires using an automatic driveshaft as the yoke differs from the 4-speed driveshaft yoke. These driveshafts are getting rare. Now, while there are GM Yokes with the same diameter and number of splines as the Getrag's output shaft their use is not recommended as there is one major difference! The GM splines are straight cut while the Getrag are beveled. Using the GM yoke could cause the binding of the yoke on the output shaft.

JJ Wheatley built one of the first Aero GT conversions in the US, starting it back in 1979. I recently came across a folder that had pictures and details of this build including a letter from Erhard Schnell discussing the Aero GT.

European wiring diagrams (DIN) differ both in layout and nomenclature from SAE wiring diagrams. DIN schematics are linear with power feeds shown on the top and ground (earth) at the bottom of the schematic. Electrical components are placed between the two and any output path from that component is referenced to a location number which is listed at the bottom. Component designation and relay outputs are explained in the following link: Understanding DIN Wiring diagrams [URL:https://classicopels.com/lexicon/index.php?entry/1-din-wiring/]
