We have Kirkham KMP259..... and if you mount the rear transmission mount the way they had it .... off of the 4" cross tube .... then it is harder to insert into the ears of the mount and the transmission at the same time.......because the ears are in the way as you lower it down.... we made a A-frame with a smaller cross member that the rear Transmission mounts or Sandwich as you call it.... and since we have a multi-plate Clutch .... you have to get straight before you attempt to insert the input shaft into the Clutch Plates.... also the angle of the engine and transmission had to be considered and this was the easiest way to accomplish..... moving ear's around on a 4" cross member get's in the way as you drop the transmission down then go straight into the Clutch .... you don't exactly have much room to work with....
