Bottom subframe arms mk2 are in and old ones removed:


0FB514DC-D38F-4BC4-8E97-A8EF8E9D8416-183

Offered it up, but its only partially successful. Gearbox has plenty of clearance.


101BF8FC-6104-4513-8A68-18F358BD0A68-183

...but sump still doesn't clear and there may not be enough space to move the arm over without it interfering with the tie bar.

If i can't move it over, plan b is to build up at the tie bar end and end up with something like this:


3C40C871-0F1C-4A71-BCBE-D2C078232C1A-183


Top subframe arm issues:
Not enough clearance belt side, but luckily there looks like enough space on my 'extension' piece to move it over by the required amount.

Gearbox side mount will need to be a carrier type setup, welded end on under the removeable arm.

I may triangulate it with another removeable leg onto the bottom subframe arm.
