hello mate whats the chris astley suff like im looking to fit an c20xe into my nova next year ive priced some of the stuff up but before i start spending just thought id ask cheers also your projects coming on sound im enjoying watching it all come together :thumb: keep up the good work mate
imo the plating kit does not fit very well, the mounts needed some work to get the bolts supplied to fit. the quality is good though apart from that
Solid mounts always seam to be a bitch to fit, put the engine in twist or to far forward! but if your prepared for this then you don't mind, and it's worth it in the end, as us that use them know.Quote:

I had to make a spacer to lower my mount on the old one, as i didn't want to move/re weld the original mounting point.

next will do the lower arms :D and engine bay is still not painted :mad:
you might find that wen you go to bolt up the rear mount you don't have access to one of te bolts. I welded my plate the same as you and hd to file it out a little - :doh:
i dont know what you mean i have bolted the mount o the bidy already all i have to do is oput the bolt through the mount isnt going to be a problem as we did the same on my the silver nova
