I’m stuck getting the upper gearbox mount bolted up.
I changed it for the vibra technics one and ended up having to remove the original metal bracket the vibratech sits in to get at a broken bolt (bolt for the mount bracket into the inner wing).
It should be an easy job from here, but I can’t get the bolts that go from the mount bracket into the chassis rail and wing lined up- no doubt the engine has moved a little and I’m not about to force them and snap more bolts.
To align everything so the bolts go in straight do I need to loosen the lower gearbox mount a bit? Or what? I want to do this properly and not have it become an even longer saga…
Thanks
