X-Piggy has agreed to weld up my new engine mounts. I decided on a set of Tuff Mounts from here
These will replace the funky custom job that is already on it.
The engineer is happy with them and hopefully it will solve a few issues with engine placement. Currently it sits too high, so am hoping the new mounts will drop the engine a couple of inches and thus clear the cabin floor with the transmission (c4)
Not much else going on. Handbrake setup pretty much done. Came up quite well.
Basically now preparing the truck for a journey to get engine and transmission fitted. Also Brendan is welding in the upper seatbelt mounts that he made.
Check out those weird engine mounts. Custom jobs directly bolted to the Jag front. They don't really work terribly well there. And anyway it is doubtful they would pass the engineering inspection.
There is a good couple of inches we can find if we ditch these custom mounts seen in the foreground.
Guys, don't you hate that? Why don't they make them snug so they don't do this when you pick the container up?
