The transmission mount is now finished so the engine and trans are 100% in the chassis.

Here is what it took to finish it off.

Start by cutting out some 5mm thick flat bar and drilling a hole for the trans mounts.



Get them in position resting against the tube, make sure everything is lined up with the laser pointer.



Put a few tack welds on them to hold the position then remove the crossmember for welding.



Make some gussets from 3mm steel using CAD



Drill a couple of holes to add lightness



Weld it all together



Some paint



and reinstall back on the car. The total weight was only 1.5kg







and a video to celebrate this milestone
