Gearbox Mounts

Hi All,

I noticed a while ago that the gearbox mounts were gone, not just bad but nearly gone as in absent.
DPO changed all the engine mounts but not these, why do 95% of the job !
Anyway new mounts were in the last package from Moss to time to fit.

This is what was there.

While it looks simple there are multiple parts so time for some witness marks to make re-assembly easier.

Then pull the cross member out.

The components just fell out and the beam was filled with years and years of dirt and oil.

Time to get out the parts washer (new toy) and it was really needed.

It all cleaned up nicely.

Lick of paint and all looks much better.

All together and put the witness marks back (not sure at this stage if i'll have to dismantle to fit).
Looks nice doesn't it.

All back in and tighten up. The Gearwrench Flex heads worth every penny ! the right tool for the job.

Finished, looking forward.

Looking aft.

All done.

Cheers,
Richard B.

Next . . . . . Either the temp warning light or some sound / heat insulation.

Famous, almost

Hi All,

Attended recent meeting of local car nuts organised by the CAR Middle east.
     Album HERE
We're famous, or at least got a magazine logo on a photo of us.

I'm going to blame the lack of shine in the paint from the damn great shamal blowing through !

Cheers,

Next . . . . . Gearbox mounts.

Service (p2) - AKA More why you change your hoses.

Hi All,

Last parts delivery was missing fuel filters, however they turned up today.
So okay quick job to add, but they clearly hadn't been changed in a while.

That's in itself isn't so bad but this is !!!

Okay not all the way through, but not far off.

So always change your "rubber" regularly.

Cheers,

Richard B.
