mt75 gearbox starter relocation

geordielad - 4/12/11 at 12:35 PM

is it possible to cut the stater motor housing off the mt75 & relocate it to where the original position of the mondeo and use the mondeo starter motor, thus not having to modify the chassis to fit the gearbox

Anything is posable with the skill and tools or money but either way its easier quicker and cheaper to move the chassis rail.

Is it being fitted into your GT6? What motor are you fitting? I do not have any answers just being nosey.
I also have a MT75 gearbox which I am hoping to use in one of my cars sometime in the future, I also have a type 9 but I wanted to use that in my locost but it may end up on the back of the GT6 motor.
