Re: Jimbobs graphite 323
Mounted the gearbox to the engine today along with the m20 starter motor subframe and
steering rack. Got the car on the ramp first and stripped the front end off then put the engine and box on the dolly
had to grind a bit off the block so the starter sat straight
allso got the last two brake lines on and stone chipped the rest of the underside

Cool. Calculated, or taking a chance? Not modding the sump either?jimbob wrote:Thanks, e21 m20 arms and e30 m20 rubber mountsE21noob wrote:Sweet. What motor mounts are you using?
Re: Jimbobs graphite 323
Sump will need to be modified,it needs to be fitted in the car first so i can see the angle it sits at and how much i need to lose.
borrowed the e30 m20 mount idea from nige21 as it gave him more clearance over the steering rack.

Re: Jimbobs graphite 323
upol gravitex. sprayed through a gun, it drys to a matte finish so you can still see all the detail and you can
paint over it if you want
i need to get some good shots of the underside, you can just make it out in this one
