Anyone used one of these?
I am struggling with my gearbox mount. I want the box really tight in the chassis (cos it will hit stuff if it moves too much!). I was going to use a
landrover engine mount, but they are M10 not M12. I stiffened up the standard sierra mount with screen bond, but its not stiff enough.
Westys have this mount which looks stiff - but is it? Anyone know?

Just ordered one online, only £10, should save a lot of messing about trying to cobble something together. Yet another manufacturer to add to the list
of bits to justify a Q plate

It is indeed much stiffer, and smaller. Its an old ford part in origin i believe.
£10 well spent, even a new sierra mount is a bit soft for the avaliable gearbox swinging room.

From your picture it looks as though it would fit my MT75 which was removed from a 2.0l DOHC. Worth a look ?

I finally got around to fitting it, I had to make up a lower mount to carry it, but very pleased, very little movement, and neat. Westfield also do
one for the MT75 box, but I don't know the difference
