gearbox craddle mountig
hi guys got a problem i have a mk2 shell origianly a 1.1 auto this was then converted to run a 1.8 zetec turbo and i belive xr2 box. now the problem i have is the bolt holes at the rear of the gbox craddle seem to have been enlarged on the floorplan for some unknown reason, so much so i will need to enlarge the holes on the cradle to fit these bolts this isnt a problem, the problem is if i do use this meathod will it be suffice to withstand the tourque and not rip the bolts out of the floorplan?? the only way i can see there held in is that the floorplan has been tapped. Canrt really remember how they mount origanlly but i think they were long bolts that bolt right up. n e 1 got n e ideas??
p.s its an rs turbo engine and box in now (nearly) and will be producing approx 180bhp Thanx Paul
