Hi, has anyone got any pics of the above in their kit car (pref mk indy)? need to plan mine!

I am in process of making mine, its a 954 Blade in a book Locost, plus 1 inch on height of scuttle. Have pics on camera, will download tomorrow and post if u like. I am going for the Westfield X shape cradle, with U brackets welded to chassis, so its an unbolt, lift out job, very easy, and gives additional engine bay rigidity.

Why not call MK, think it's only about £100 for a cradle designed for the job.

Generally bits available are for older model engines, so take care. had same with exhaust and sump baffle.

ps will post later.

These 2 pics show partially completed, missing 1 leg of X, plus detail of fixing, I will weld on a tube vertically to sq. tube, then bolt thro' brkt. Will add two hanging angles for g/box side mount.
Underneath, I will use frame of sump guard to add connects to lower mount gearbox side with threaded studding.

thanks for that. Re you bolting one on the bottom whete the gbox is? where the original mount on the bike is?

scutter - mk only do one for the 893 blade, im thinking of buying hat one tho and adapting it.

Actually there are 3 points down g/box side to fix, the middle one is ~25mm dia so no good, there is another above and another below, both 12mm dia I think, which I will use withn threaded studding.
