Ditto Barry’s comment…..
Just awesome skills and attention to detail.

And as I also said previously (on another forum), thanks heaps for taking the time to take the pics of your awesome work,  and the time to post them up, to share with all of us. 

Brilliant stuff, and a great read!

Trial fit of an engine to ensure correct alignment...


Buttysbits intermediate mount brackets welded in place. Forgot to get a photo of it bolted in but can be seen in photo of oil cooler install in this post.


Heater tube sandblasted and rust holes repaired...




Oil cooler mounting. Managed to get this up higher then my first attempt and is now level with the cross members and has clearance for the cables and shift rod. I have made steel lines with barbed ends that have been silver soldered on by a local engineer. Still some refining but happy with the installation.

I had a semi-solid mount on my gearbox in my 1303

They are brilliant.
No more worries about rubbish front gearbox mounts.
