Got a little time in the workshop yesterday.
Finished up the outrigger for the crossmember and surprise surprise the CRS mounts actually bolted up.
The surface rust mounts in the photo are mounts I made a fair while ago so thought I would use them this time, looks like it will work.
I measured from the back to back of each mount, cane to 530mm, measured distance on the crossmember and it is the same so time to dummy fit the engine and gearbox so I can get the mount5s welded to the crossmember and then powder coat the lot.
Ill cut the hand made mounts down as I go to get the engine sitting as low as I like and this will also allow me to get the gearbox crossmember dummied in.
