Title: Ally gearbox plate??
Post by: James Averall on February 24, 2022, 10:46:08 am
Can anyone tell me where I can get one of the ally plates I've seen fitted to a few cars now..

I'm assuming they are around 8mm thick to space a type 1 motor onto 091 box without modifying and poss give some strength?

Anyone have any 3 Insh short folts axles by any chance? 🤔

Thanks
James

Why do you need to space the engine off the gearbox? on a tube chassis car its common to use a ally motor plate to mount the engine/gearbox but they are usually only about 3mm thick actually between the engine and gearbox so as not to space it off to ,much or clutch wont work

Ahh I see, was thinking to save swapping the Bell.housing and input shaft over to bolt a type 1 straight up to 091, or ahould i just lop a bit off the end of the shaft? ..
