gearbox/engine mounts in offroad competition buggies?
I'm interested to see some pics of how people mount their engines and gearboxes in offroad cars.
Do you solid mount them?
Where do you support the front of the tranny (kombi boxes)? Do you use a Berg style front mount? Do you have 3 supports? nosecone, belhousing and
engine? or just nosecone and engine?

I like that design, it dosen't use the engine mounting bolts to secure it.How much are you asking for those? You need to put them on your web
site.

That's the kit I've seen before in race cars. I had a mate that tried to copy it and make his own, took him forever and it was never right. Buying
one that's laser cut and welded together seems like a much better option

Some nice work on display here, but if you are just looking for a kit to retain Beetle box in a standard chassis for, say, under 120hp at the wheels,
I have a 'two-strap' one here... is it worth $50?
Collect from Hornsby
I'll try an get a pic later

I got it from http://www.shoptalkforums.com/index.php Mick H posted
the site previously. I can't find the exact link(it's a seperate site from inside one of the posts).
From what I can gather these mounts are made by http://www.mckenzies.com/ (I think
moose imports them, Not sure) site is a pain as it dosn't show any pictures.
