MNR Reverse box mounting
ReMan - 2/3/12 at 10:56 PM

Anyone got a picture of how the MNR reverse is mounted onto the chassis, on an MNR or other

I will be starting my winter upgrades this weekend and I have one to fit into the MK

Mine was a Quaife box, but the mount is the same I think, Mine is the gold coloured box onboard a plate welded into the frame by MNR

We mounted ours on a 5mm plate, which was then bolted to the gb mounts and another bar welded in further back, worked a treat in our Indy

Sorry for the crappy pic, it's the only one I could find from during the build.

Cant quite see it in the picture but is the plate sitting on, or raised above the bottom chassis tubes?

The two centre parts of the frame front to back support a section made by MNR, it raises it over the where you would run, brake and fuel lines, you can bolt it in from underneath, I know my Quaife had 4 bolt holes on each corner, I suspect the MNR one in the other picture is the same, The MNR reverse box is the one to buy unless you have already bought one, as it has no drag, the Quaife box was very tight once in reverse mode, the MNR one has no friction. Both cost around the same. Sorry I don't have a better pic either.

Cheers for that, thyre great
I havent even got he panels off yet, that's Sunday, but I was picturing it being too low If I just sat a plate across the bottom chassis/tunnel rails.
I think these confirm I need to look at raining it on sqare tub our similar to a better working height and to keep the props at a better angle
