Reasonable gearbox to chassis clearance?

What does everyone reckon is a reasonable gap between the gearbox and any crossmembers/uprights?

Cheers

Depends how stiff the engine and gearbox mountings are --- Sierra mountings are very soft.

half inch is a general guide i think. but as above, depends on how much things can move

I could possibly put in a top brace as well?

I use those mounts, and they are pretty solid.

I would go for around 10mm clearance. This is what I will be aiming for around everything when I fit the duratec.
