Quite right, cradle & flexi mountings not exclusive at all. Also my system could be used without the rubber!
The dash is all home-made, I sold a couple to other builders but I've stopped trying to do that now, I can't afford the time to be making one- offs, also LED displays must be mounted right or you can't see 'em in daylight.
Cheers
Bob

I have the engine propped in the engine bay now but I just can't quite get the engine driveshaft in the centre of the transmission tunnel. The rocker cover touches the side rail and the oil filter wouldn't come off as it'd be to tight up against the side. I take it other people must have faced this? Just after a bit of reassurance

Hi there

Here is a pic of my engine from the rear.

Hope this helps, the prop does not need to be in the centre, many say that the universal joint should run with arround 3 degrees.

Cheers

Ian

P.S I would think that the engine and filter should be within the bonnet if I use the MK bonnet with the built in bulge.

Thanks very much. Just the reassurance I needed. I've started to mount it already. Got the top hangers on and gonna sort the bottom ones. Not too sure if I'm gonna include the middle ones as well yet. Would like to but they're a bit fiddly (having to use spacers and the like) I probably will do. Have put some rubber washers in the mounts to to hopefully absorb a little of the vibration or hum.
Thanks again.
