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.

The less I worked, the more i liked it.

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.

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.
