C20xe nova gear box mount touching

[stelf2.0nova]

Help is needed as I fitted my c20xe and the gear box is touching the passenger side gear box mounting bracket. Why would this be.

Which way round does rear gear box mount go.

Will upload sum tonight. It's puzzling me to b honest as everything seems normal and how it should. All I can think is that the spacers for the rear one shoul b one on gear box side and two on the bolt end.

The front mount? I had mine spaced with 3 thick washers to stop it. Never worked out why it was like it. Only did it on one set up out of 5.

on my passenger side mount at the front, if you lok through the wheel arch the nut and bolt that hold the mount on to the bracket is pretty close but dosnt touch

[Benn]

The long bolt was touching on mine^

[swedge]

think ive got about 10-20mm on mine

[stelf2.0nova]

mine is touching. i take it you mean three thick washers on the mount where it bolts to gear box. strange to cause never had it on my last build.

what way round does the back spacers go on the rear mount just to make sure.

Are your rubber parts worn badly ior split?

[Benn]

I didn't have to do it on most of mine, but one i did and yeah thick washers on the gap between mount and box..

[Pistol Pete]

Got the rear mount and drivers side mounted out correctly? Rear mount has some spacers plates.

[stelf2.0nova]

Yer rear mount has the three spaces that is used and drivers side is normal. Used the top two holes. Rubbers seem all tight and not split

[Balley]

Drivers side has to be replaced IIRC

[Pistol Pete]

Whats that big lump of alloy??!! You sure you got the right mount in there?

[Benn]

That's the metal bit in the rubber^

[Pistol Pete]

Ah yeah, sorry, so it is.... Im running new solid mounts on mine!

[stelf2.0nova]

Drivers side mount seems ok. What way round does spacers go on rear mount.

[Lee H]

Two spacers between gearbox and rear mount and the other spacer on the outside of the rear mount.

[stelf2.0nova]

Yer that's how I got it. Mayb it's just sitting strange and needs washers between front gear box mount. Cheers people

[GRUNT 16V]

slaken all mounts and move the engine until its in the correct place ??

[Iain]

It's either sitting too far forward or twisted, surely. You could try slotting the rear mount to allow it to sit further back (usually only done on solid mounts but might work). Just weld some washers in when you're done.

[stelf2.0nova]

It looks more twisted than to far forward. Driving me mad.
