berg style midmount question
Do you put the midmount directly against the gearbox casing or against the lower nuts with another set of nuts?

If you mount it directly against the casing won't it inrease your chances of oil leaks? I am aware of the need to fit longer studs.

Does this sit further forward on the gear box than the Berg mount?

Bizzare are those studs which fit the cradle flush against the gearbox casing?
