    Dogbone gearbox ~~~ A thing of the past !!!!!

    Just thought I would show you this
    It is as near a replica of the "Works" Gp A gearbox mount .
    I bought a R19 mount,a couple of bottom arm bushes,some machining and welding,and there you have it,I supplied the bits .My mate did the rest £50 ~~ a snip considering the "Proper" one is in the region of £300/400.
    To mount it,you need to have a coulpe of "L" shaped brackets welded on top of the subframe, ~~ Then forget about gearbox mounts for good.
    Not sure,whether it clears the Power steering rack ,but it could be modded if required.Mine has no power steering
