04 - 06 R1 Engine Cradles / Mounts for a 7

Does anyone have any drawings of their cradle / mounts? Is there a 'kit car standard'?

Cheers

i posted help when i went to fit my zx10r engine into my book chassis. the best advice anyone gave me was to talk to MK... they were fantastic, and didn't mind that it was not one of their chassis...

If it will help then have a look at my pictures on facebook ... search for Adrian.hughes@talbotuw.com.. there should be a few hints... and yes... i do have OCD ...

I didn't use a cradle & rubber mounted it.
Nice to not get vibration white everything...

I know the engine is not a r1 but if you look at Roadrunner's photos there is a cradle i made for him [zx9r]
It may help you with ideas

Could still do with some more pics of the mounts and/or cradles that folks have used to fit their R1's.

Here's my 03 engine mounts

R1 Engine Cradle
R1 Engine Cradle


R1 Engine Cradle Front
R1 Engine Cradle Front


A slightly different engine to the 04 but I think the mounting pickup points are reasonably similar.

yours is similar to how i usually do mine chris, a pair of spars bolted down and a couple of mounts on the chassis direct.
