few more questions!!!

right. 1st of all these might sound stupid to some people but i need to know!!! 1st of all on the v8 3.5 engine. how many engine mounts should there be. as far as i can see theres just two on the engine and 2 little rubber mounts on the gearbox. are there any more?? doesnt seem much!!! and i saw a set of balljoints on ebay for the locost. you got a pair of maxi ball joints, pair of transit drag links and a pair of escort i think they were trck rod ends for £45 quid or something and i cant find them again. anyone got a link for them?? also any cheap pipe benders availble that will be suitable for bending the rear tubes on the chassis and the exhaust that ill be making?? and with the v8. will 2" bore be sufficent for each side?? im sure there will be more questions very soon but that will do for now!!!!

Cut down the original SD1 mounting and get landrover rubbers.

Should be pics in my archive

Also I mounted the gearbox on one rubber iirc.
