i used the top hole with no problems so i dont really understand why yous is so diffrent to mine ,,,,,
If all else fails you could cut the mount off and weld it back in a better postion
has your bottom mount spaced 10mm off the box ??
i havent used a mount like yours but i have used normal nova gear box mounts without the spacer in the back mount, i used an astra gte mount on the front chassis leg mount but it does shut just the drivers side of the bonnet is just raised slightly! ill get pics up in a bit
im running a late spec xe and my mtech mount touches the cam cover but there isint a problem because it dosnt move. il'd try using the top hole then take it from there!
Yeah i have the spacer between the rear mount and box. Do you not have yours fitted? Like i said, when it's fitted in the top hole, the rear camgaurd fouls on the tas mount. As the engine drops down it moves forward and fouls. Looks like re-welding is gonna be the option.Quote:

Cheers for the pics too:thumb:
intake temp pipe is a ecocrap , as i am still looking for a better pipe setup for the air intake
If you put a straight edge from wing to wing, ie broom handle or something, to the top of the rocker cover to the bottom of the straight edge, there should be a 38mm gap IIRC
how you get on with it??
Not had chance to get to it again recently mate. going to try the above advice on sat ( needs to be done for pvs) , and see how i get on, will post some pics.
have you tried pushing the engine all the way to the passenger side on the asjustment on the front gearbox mount as there is a good 3 1/4 of an inch movement there and might stop you cam belt guard touching the mount when you drop it to the top hole
