Benn's on going build

I agree with Rick Benn, slot the hole to the gearbox. Once you have it in place you can always tack in some washers then weld round them.

Good work btw. Couldnt of been easy for you taking a grinder to your bay but I promise you, you wont regret it!

Im running the standard twin vee on mine with standard rubber mounts and ive no catching issues!

But as already been said benn if you can slot the mount easy enough then do that mate weld washers ontop too to keep the strength like iain did to his rear mount.

But keep up the good work mate.

Damo.

I'm sure the last time i looked it's very close to the lip on the chassis.. See below for the rest, cheers too.

Yep yep that's what i was thinking, Once it's in and happy i can weld them up in the right place.. Don't like the thought that they can move..
Cutting up the bay wasn't a easy job. But i think i know it's for the best..lol
So i better not regret it, shouldn't tho. I'll have a stronger gearbox that's mostly the same as the old one but with better cruzing revs

Thursday?

Loved the feature mate and keep up the good work. Make sure you wear a mask tho.

Cheers dude :) Annoyingly i couldn't find any of my nice masks....

Daft question on the mount issue mate are you using a nova front engine rubber. the reason I ask is I was using the 10mm thicker corsa rubber and I had this problem when I was lining up the new mount for the F28.
Good work btw

I'm using a new Nova one. But i'll check it to what's on the drivers side..

Cheers dude.

THats a good point. I remember (long time ago now tho) when doing mine I ordered a nova one from autovaux but it was an astra one which they told me was the same but it isnt, it pertrudes more.
