No idea what mine cost, it's that old! Must be over 30 years old!

Umm at which point did my engineering brain think it would
Be a good idea to measure the 420 gearbox mount say against the one the car was designed with?

Well buy one, completely rebuild it , make a poly bush for it, fit it to gearbox and then spend an hr fitting the lump in the bay. Install the 2 other mounts and then try to bolt up gearbox !!!

Guess what it's a fecking mile out [emoji35]

What a knob[emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

If at first you don't succeed, hit it with a hammer.

With your skills, just a new problem to solve.

Hanging bracket there. Drill. Tap and thread to hang it, sorted.

Unfortunately not so simple, it's about 40mm short of the side frame. Box must sit closer to the rhs on a diesel :-(

will keep hold of it and get a spacer made up if the stock v6 one plays up again.

Wow, been a while since i updated this :-)

I Did create a FB page which is so easy to update but tbh i have started to un follow a number of MG sites, sick of the knob head keyboard warriors.

Page:

https://www.facebook.com/ReylandZsTu...homepage_panel

for those that are on FB still.


Update:

Unfortunatley work took a nose dive with bad debt etc so car pretty much stood still, with no spare cash and feeling pretty peeeed off i had little enthusiasm but things slowly turned around and work commenced with a tad more passion.

so i'll start where i think i left off with engine re built.

well its in :


more later, gotta upload pics to photobucket.
