This is the one I have but it has no bolts with it - to use to bolt to block??
Pics would be great help if poss :thumb: I'm wanting to use it with a 1.2 8v engine
Use your gearbox bellhousing bolts and bolt it to the block where the gearbox bolts go,so flywheel has to come off.
^^^ partly wrong.
flywheel didnt have to come off on mine.
but it can bolt into the bell housing bolt holes
i have also seen it on the stand side on so to speak, so the oil pump and flywheel are exposed. this way it would bolt into the 3 holes used for RWd mountings.
Thats not wrong is it,every engine ive put on mine has had to have the flywheel off-1300 and xe and let
How the fukk can it be wrong? if it mounts to the engine then its obviously right!
can kinda see it there.

im 100% sure that the flywheel was on when i mounted mine, obs not in the pic above!
it was one of the skinny flys.
I had flat type flywheel on both mine and it wouldnt happen,the bracket bolts foul the flywheel face,so you must have had a flywheel made by Rizla
LOL at "partly wrong" Utter rubbish when the pic you have out up is EXACTLY AS I DESCRIBED!! lol
lol to the rizla.
it doesnt matter to the thread in general.
i would suggest taking the fly off before putting it on the stand.
and i just used threaded rod with some nuts to go through the bell housing mounts.
good luck lol.

As said use the gearbox bolts. I had my XE on one. With the flywheel fitted.
