MX5 gearbox mount
Hi,
Can anyone show me how they have mounted a MX5 gearbox in a Saturn chassis please? The rear of the gearbox has two handy drilled and tapped holes.
The Saturn instructions suggest using a MX5 engine mount but does it use just one of the holes? I have my own idea how to do it but I would like to
see how others have done it.
Also what ground clearance do you have under the sump?
Thanks,
Geoff

If it's the two tapped holes I'm thinking of, there used to be a bracket bolted to them. I'll be remaking that bracket to go from
those two holes to the frame via a Defender engine mount like this eBay Item .
As for the sump, I think I'm aiming for a couple of inches below the chassis, possibly a bit higher if it looks a bit vulnerable. I'm
hoping to get into the garage over Christmas and get these jobs done, they're very much overdue but I've not had any time to get in there.

If it helps those two tapped holes take a bracket which attaches to the PPF frame i.e. supports the tailshaft so should be OK to use.
As for mounting something like a Defender engine mount?
Cheers, Pewe
