Hi me and greggors are cracking on now with our build but becuase our donner was a DOHC-MT75 Sapphire we only have the MT-75 mount
is this different to the one which comes with a type 9 car?

we did a trial fit but coudlnt seem to slot it into the underside of the box

any1 know if the mounts are different ?
if so is there anybody out there who has a spare ?

Thanks Rich and Chris

I used the original Ford mount. I took the bit that bolts to the gearbox and removed the rubber mounting and the rest of the crossmember. This then gives you a 12mm fixing in the centre of the gearbox. I then made a plate out of 3mm steel that attached to the Indy chassis gearbox mount plates using 4 mini exhaust rubber bobbins, I then fixed thru this plate to the gearbox with a single 12mm bolt. Has worked fine. Easier to do than write!
