hi there
has anyone got pics of an blade engine mounted in a mk chassis with an mk engine cradle in thier archive?
cheers
just want to see how to mount the cradle onto the chassis
also want to see where people have mounted the coils?
and aswell does the rectifier need to be attached onto chassis or will it be ok on the scuttle?

Hope this helps
My rectifier is at the front of the car so it gets cool air there
Its also mounted on a thick alloy plate to aide as a heat sink
kev.....
You can just see my coils top right

This is a MAC1 not MK, but the chassis are fairly similar. The cradle isn't I don't think, but then you should be able to make out which way yours goes from it...

Coils need to be mounted to the chassis really (but that's only to earth them)

Reg/Rec neds to be mounted in as cool a place as you think you can find within wiring reason...

Not sure about some of those questions but generally you want to mount the rectifier onto something big and metal to take some of the heat away.

MK Engine Pic (sorry best I have)
