Ok, it doesn't need to be so quick anymore. I'm dead in the water, thanks to my early-style engine carrier bars, which have placed the rubber motor mounts about an inch too far forward. I would be able to move the tranny to make room, if it wasn't a syncro... So, I need to either cut 'n re-weld, or find somebody who wants to trade. Dave Marshall says my carriers will work fine in a 2WD van. They have the rubber mount connected to the carrier with a bolt that runs parallel to the length of the van. I need the carriers that mount the rubber part with a bolt that runs perpendicular to the van. Anybody wanna trade? I'll pay all shipping and throw in some beer... -Simon On Saturday, October 5, 2002, at 03:24 PM, Simon Reinhardt wrote: > Hi all, > Would someone with a syncro van be willing to get me a measurement in > the engine bay? > On the tranny, there's a ridge of metal that goes between the two > castings that hold the accelerator cable and the clutch cylinder > bracket.
