Gear box movement - Flak monkey
further to earlier thread
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=109475&page=2
Just how much does the box move?
Vertically and horizontally?
The image may not give a good enough angle
along the box to show the exact clearance,
but I dont fancy making mistake if easily avoidable at this stage.
Cheers

i don't think that the box moves that much if at all,probably mainly through vibration more than anything, mine is bolted to the chassis via a
rubber mount as well as being attached to the engine and to the prop, i doubt it hardly move at all

I wouldnt have thought it was moving about
too much myself but
I am prepared to be stood corrected.
Hence me asking about how much clearance I should allow.
Thanks omega

My engine mounts are solid, but the std sierra gearbox mount is pretty weak and allows quite a lot of movement at that end.
I can move mine a good 10mm side to side pretty easily. Up and down is less of an issue.
Personally, I made it so I could get my hand between the gearbox and anything else around it. That way you are pretty safe (certainly mine seems to
have been)
