I assume you mean for a bus box in a Beetle? If so, no, as far as I know, nobody makes such a mount. Doing so is on my to do list, but it's part of a bigger project, and not at the top of the list yet.

I'm using that ssp kit for my bus box bug... the fits not great though (you get what you pay for), and needs a little fettling with to fit. not a bad starting point though. I'm probably going to fab up tome extra engine mounts as i'm not confident in the strength of it.

I'll see if i can get some pics of my install if you want!?

forgot to mention, the main pain with this kit added to the rjes bellhousing is that it makes it difficult to move the box forward much, so you end up with it further back than is ideal (i've had to cut sections out of my rear wings, as well as stand the decklid off both top and bottom).
