Gearbox mount - what to use?
What mounts have you lot all used for your gearboxes? I'm using a type 9 box which obviously needs a rubber mount of some description between
it and the mounting plate. Any suggestions or should I give Grant a call?

I'll investigate but I was thinking of something a bit smaller!
The Luego chassis already has the plate there for the gearbox to sit on whereas I thought the Indy used the Sierra gearbox mount complete with the
steel cross member bit?

on top of chassis plate!!

IE cut that shape out of the chassis plate and put the rubber mount with plate in/on it, drill the holes and bolt it!!

I've found the original Sierra mount a bit on the soft side

You can get a stiffer mount from westfield for the type 9 for about 12 quid.
Chris
the sierra mount will fit yours,just a case of drilling out the centre plate.
I think you'll find a pic on my archive,if not pop round and have a look.

Couldn't see how it comes apart on the one I've got but maybe it's different. Needs to be about 10mm thick as I'm pushed for
space in there already.

Yeah, I can see how space would be a problem in a Viento!

It's perhaps too much space that's the problem. My engine is too short to clear the bulkhead :s
Anyway, I picked up an unknown rubber mount at Donny show which I'm hoping will do the trick.
