T56 Gearbox Mount CR

[Beejay]

I will need this one too.

My understanding is that a mount needs to be fabricated to suit a neoprene bush or two.

From memory someone has a pic in their gallery of one.

If we can get a drawing or borrow one I can get it made up at work.

Cheers,

This is a simple way of mounting the box using a standard VX era rubber mount. I cut Ians plate and welded a couple of tabs to the side to bolt to the chassis. The holes through the chassis have crush tubes welded in place and take a M12 fine thread bolt. Simple but does the job.

That looks like a good setup Dale, very neat.

I also cut off Ians cross member mounts as I thought they were in an awkward position. I welded new ones in with nuts welded on the back so you just screw straight up into them.

I did a nolathane one using spring shackle bushes. I've changed it a bit since this one and the mount now bolts to the cross member rather than welded. makes it much easier to remove and work on.

Newer mounts that I've supplied with gearbox conversions use Ians original cross member position. I've also switched to rubber bushes because I reckon the nolathane bush hasn't got enough give compared to the flex in the engine mounts.



I've got a pic of the newer design on my home PC somewhere. I'll try to find it and post it.

Here is the pic I found, was planning to do something similar.
