Hi,
I've got a LET with a F20 in my mk2 nova. And I've used replacement conversion mounts on the cambelt end and the rear mount.
But I used the old original mount on the gearbox end.

The bolt which goes through the chasie mount hits the side of the gearbox. :(

I could fix this by fitting some kind of spacer between the mount and the gearbox. (Where 3 bolt go through)

Question is, has anyone else had same thing? Have I done something else wrong? If It's common to fit spacers how much should I pack it out by?

Shouldn't need to fit spacers. They're always close on that bolt though

Mine did the same thing a few engines ago. I added a few washers on.
