ausmini :: View topic - Starlet gents, need a measurement

Stripey I will have a look tonight. Here's a pic of my part of the subframe if it helps. Also like the design very cool. Would loved to do the same, how did you do the pipe bending that was the impediment for me. Anyway I'll try and get back to you tonight.

Cheers

Matt

I'd like to help but i moved my engine mount to the top of my box because i could not get the original bracket and mount to fit in its original location.

Dan

Stripey's look like mandrel bends?

The (standard) mount and the outside edge of the gearbox are on the same axis/line in think..... Well, I believe the mount does not protrude any further toward the passenger side than the gearbox does.

Brad? You're 'self-employed' you should be near you car.....

Stripey,
Mine is about 65mm to the edge of the gearbox. I still had to modify the side of my tower for the gearlinkage. You will also find the drives side will play a part when you take into account the alternator and belts.

You will find all our engine positions will vary slightly.

Brad are you looking at making a few for people to purchase?

Dan

Well the position i have the motor in for the frames im making the distance from the hole to the end of the mount is 100mm.

If someone would be so kind as to provide a measurement for me? I need a measurement from.... Passenger side front subframe mounting point - to most external point of the 4efte mounted gearbox/gearbox mount. I need to see if I have enough room. If you give me a dimension that is larger than what I have measured between the two reds lines, I'm in the crap. if not, I will persist.

i have nfi about that at this stage...but i do know FOR A FACT (i meticulously plotted all exterior dimensions of the 4efte) that it is 800mm from the outside of the timingbelt cover to the end of the gearbox...i figure if about 850mm will fit between yer bar things on yer subframe it should be fine...surely the offset left or right shouldnt make ANY difference...as long as it fits in the subframe

Cheers Matt you can buy pretty beefy pipe-benders from tradetools direct up here...for like $200...not sure how good they are...but by the looks of things they take pretty hefty pipes...dont do RHS unfortunately...as thats what i am going for mine...cant be buggered fiddling with the CHS stuff most of you guys have gone with...

Insomnia (yes that is your defacto name now), I think they're press benders (still probably good enough for a subbie) but Stripey's look like mandrel bends?
