Just realised that the bolts that fix the gearbox to the block are too short to go through the engine stand arms into the block.

Anyone know what size the standard bolts are? Gonna see if I can find a few that are the same size but longer.

Thanks :thumb:

The bolts that hold the rear mount to the gearbox are the right length:thumb:

Cheers lads all sorted now, purchased a couple M12 hex bolts and some nuts too. Used them together with the gearbox bolts. Worked a treat!
