Engine position problem??
Hi all,
After getting the engine in as some of you have seen my earlier 'Wedding post' I need to ask a few questions please.
The gearbox mount (from Caterham) seems to be tipping the engine slighly forwards.
This means the prop shaft is at a slight incline - gearbox tail is little bit higher than diff flange.
So is this the norm, have I got the wrong gearbox mount?
Will it be a problem?
Thanks in advance.

it should be fine, as long as the gearbox output and diff flange are parallel, then its all good.
look at rigid body truck, their props run at quite an angle!

I had to put12mm blocks between the chassis mounts and the gearbox mount to lower the back end of the box
