    so finished engine mounts but found my first misstate today went to lift engine up and drop x member and they would not part I had not taken enough out of the x member part of the mount part so the round tube would not slide out so got it apart cut some more off and all sweet now , started gearbox mount similar to the engine mounts made that part, then cut two 50x50x5 angle drill some holes these are for the chassis parts then cut a box section in half made a CAD template first then the metal part to weld to the angle will weld up once I have the front mount bushes installed  ,,

    also put the bonnet on and I have 20mm clearance between blower and bonnet so I may be able to run the lsa cover after all  ,, any way photo’s to make sense

    Love this build mate. Seriously unless you have done one you don’t understand the time effort and thought that goes into it. Top work, going to be a weapon. Very thoughtful build.

    Thanks Gary  I have done a couple builds now from not knowing any thing to now and knowing a shit load also I know what I want and what the car will be used for plus have a good mate to bounce ideas off , yourself, Ian, Daniel (AKA Cava) also

    got a chance to do a bit of a shed and tool tidy up. For some reason I hate working in a messy environment, when its clean and tidy, I just find it easier to work. prob my OCD kicking in, but it works for me

    I am completely the same I would get more done if I didn’t stop three or 4 times to clean up plus I hate walking in metal swarf yip ocd big time

    Have been busy with mounts all tacked used some C-A-D as normal had it sitting nicely using a plumb bob levelled down off the sill sides then from the gear box, diff and crank , squared a line to the front adjusted motor and box to suit, diff and gear box is about 10mm offset but wanted more clearance for air con so move motor and box 10mm to passengers side diff will be fine as building a 9″ so can sit it where I need it , will have to modify the hand brake bulge

    have a 10mm temporary spacer between the x-member and oil pan notched the angle bits on the x-member for oil pan clearance made some card board templates for mounts then made them out of 50x50x5mm angle welded together (had no Box section to make them out of ) a lot of cutting and grinding but got there, just got to do the gearbox mount

    Also motor fits under bonnet :yahoo:   :good:

    Like most modified cars there will probably only be one sweet spot where it’ll be all good, hold off on finish welding the mounts till you’re 100% happy it ALL lines up how you want it!

    that’s why they are tacked plus for engineering I need them to be welded by someone with a welding ticket

    but as all ways thanks for the tips and info marry Christmas :yahoo: Santa  never brought me anything this year :-(

    Sounds good, you’ll need to measure the angle on the diff flange then set the same angle on the trans output, 4 degrees on both is about the maximum, so you mean 10 to 15mm off the centre line left/right? If so yeah that’s fine. You could mount the engine off centre if it helps with steering clearence, many stock cars aren’t centred.

    yip centre line 15-20mm, as for pinion angle I have the adjustable top diff arms so that not an issue , setting of centre would move closer the handbrake

    Hey Ian have I got this right for engine placement centre of rails in bay parallel/square off the front level left to right and about 3 degrees back ,I have set this up and I’ll have to slightly modify the hand brake bulge as the gearbox is a bit longer than factory ones , between gear box and diff is not a straight line maybe 15-20mm the universals should compensate for that right (one Piece )

    8pk belt? If so not a chance if it slipping, are you spacing the subframe down for bonnet clearance?

    Yes 8pk belt and yes on the spacers have not put pictures up as I want to see it all done first and have it back on all four wheel with coil overs adjusted to suit , my engineer/fabricator is making the brackets for the brakes as I have not got the gear or skill to make them it’s a radial mount caliper and they are brakes don’t want them falling off

    well have had play with mounts got part of them sorted just have to set engine and box in the right place have taken both mounts of the x member , modified the angle braces to have a bit more clearance for oil pan

    also had a L plate welded to the A/c Bracket and built up on the threaded parts just need to get it in the mill to start shaping it

    Got the larger pulley on the crank for the blower and sorted a belt for it, forgot blower was not bolted down d’oh

    found a manual rake aswell
