Use some ARB lowering blocks

Thats not the problem what so ever anti roll bar isnt the problem the gearbox needs to go toward the front of the car more to bolt the back mount on and it cant go anymore due to hitting the chassis leg mount
Rydoc

Thats as far forward it will go and the bolt is threw the bit behind the bolt hole and mounts hitting the builk head

You need a 3 hole mount for the stabiliser mount.

David Dixon sells them on here in the traders forum

it will fit mate get a little jack with some wood up against bulkhead and engine. and a bar in mount and play about moving it till bolt goes in. there not normaly that bad on std mounts. solid mounts are a bit of a pain

The mount still got another inch to go forward towards the front of the car but seems imposible
Due to this

Its actually starting to bend the chassis mount forks its pressing that hard image if a do get the bolt in you couldnt drive it with the box pressed against the chassis
Do u get a pre and post front gearbox mount must be the wrong one ?
