Default Anyone got some close up pics of how a T5 box mounts up to its cradle???





Long story but the basics are I’m running a T5 box with an MT75 cradle, the original tunnel has been modified so I can’t run a standard Cosworth mount without faffing with a welder to pointlessly convert it back. Anyway, the mount fits but appears to be too low down, however I’m not 100% sure how the original T5 cradle looks

Here are some pics of what I have now, it’s not all tightened up, but you can see the cradle sits lower than the box mount (gap larger in pic as it’s not all tightened up, but mount does not sit in cradle slot even with it all tight) so basically I am wondering if I can just put a spacer in and tighten it all up or if the standard setup has this gap as well so I don’t need a spacer? When people have converted 4x4’s to rwd this is pretty much the same issue.
