due to the fact i didnt take pics earlier and the problem really starting to bug me i thought id try my best to explain,
when mounting my c20xe/f20 a couple of weeks ago i managed to get the front g/box and o/s mount secured but couldnt for the life of me get the rear g/box mount to line up, i noticed at the time my o/s rubber was shot and twisting badly, i have modified the g/box mount as per the article and am using david dixon mounts,
now today after finally buying myself an engine hoist swapped all the old rubbers with some filled with tigerseal,
problem 1- due to me being a plum took the rear rubber mount off the body but didnt take note of which way round it went, does it have to be put on a certain way ie the little slit facing towards the engine?
(not so much a) problem 2- with my potential mess up /\, i now have all 3 mounts fitted but the engine looks to be really high but pretty level, at the min i am using the top 2 holes on the o/s mount, i tried to lower it using the bottom 2 holes but it wouldnt bolt up for love nor money, this doesnt bother me too much as i plan on using bonnet catches/pins
problem 3- their seems to be very little room when fastening the nut and bolt on the g/box, i've managed to fully tighten it tho, is this normal? if not could this be related to the above problems?
sorry for the long post an pics will appear tomorrow am
