 Re: Joolz's Red One Thanks for the Info Joolz. Yes I agree that the Poly Urethane would be to hard. I can't get the same transit mount here in Oz easily so I ordered some off Ebay, cheap! Is this the ones you used?Is it not a concern that the gearbox could slide forward or backward out of your mounts? Only if the front mounts failed I suspect. If you have the time to send me the width of the bush, inner shaft, that would be helpful to design my mounts. Here is my idea, maybe overkill, I will reduce it a bit I think... Attachment:

The white spacers on the back are because the LNa end plate is not flat, the curved is the original mounting support. Harley

Re: Joolz's Red One Yep, those are the ones, cheap as in the UK but your postage bumps it up a little.
No I'm not too concerned about them moving, if I see any sign of it, a blob of weld will sort them.
I don't think your bracket looks overly heavy if you're making it from 4 or 5mm plate, and it will allow plenty of rotational movement, assuming you're keeping the original front mounts. I'll get you all the dimensions later today.

Re: Joolz's Red One I couldn't find my other set of bushes so did my best to measure the ones on the car, was a bit awkward so I may be a mm out. Should be close enough to finish the design, but maybe don't cut anything yet. Your CAD is all very pretty, but paper and a biro is more how I roll.

Re: Joolz's Red One I did some fuel consumption calculations for the first time with the 5-sp gearbox. When driven sensibly over a long journey it'll do 45mpg. I can't remember now what it used to do with the old box, but I'm sure this is an improvement.
