Wow! That looks like a good opportunity.

Doc, the reason I brought up the magnesium point was from my (little) experience with old VW buses. I built a '58 23-window with a friend about 10 years ago, and the transaxle I installed had a gusset that needed trimming. Now that I think about it, it was a big-nut transaxle, and it was probably from a late model (meaning early seventies) bus or Thing, so it wasn't nearly as old as the rest of the bus.

I trimmed that gusset very carefully.
