Speak with Richard, they have raised many a gearbox and prob set you right direction, I unfortunately as you know have not started with mine and will also be raising and moving forward to make way for the 915 box...............so Im not exactly sure yet what is involved.
Well, thats on of the reasons, Andrew. Another is that the throttle body hits the edge of the engine lid opening by about 5mm. Instead of cutting this, I thought Id try and kill two birds with one stone. Ill let you know what turns out.
I've never seen a kit, but I think you could do it by bolting some square tubing to the flat on the rubber mount and then drill some other locating holes on the other side of the square tubing for the bell housing mounts. Steve
Thats pretty much what Im thinking now, Steve. Even though that entails splitting the motor from the box....AGAIN! The motor is in and running so I was hoping I could come up with a solution without going through the ordeal. Bit of a pain on your own....
the yanks sell a 10deg bus box mount system that would do the trick...if you had a bus box. where abouts are you in sydney? maybe I could come and have a look and give you some ideas. In fact, now I come to think of it, I reckon you could do something very easily using urethane mounts and a bit of fabbing. are you using the chassis horns out of the older style subframe?
Yeah, no bus box here, Pete. I have the red urethane mounts and I can/did also craft up poly "blocks" to "extend" them at work but once again, without splitting the box/motor, it was hard, as the bottom of the mounts are curved and angles are weird. Im thinking now that I may fab up a deeper bracket where the original one bolt to the forks. In effect, it would allow me to redrill the 24mm mounting bolts 25mm lower.... Im over in Randwick and would be happy for you to come over to give me some ideas when your free. If you choose to, let me know. Im around most of the time.
