    Dimensions for making 89+ solid motor mounts

    Square Rubber mounts here and not a hint of them breaking. Don't like solids never have doubly so in a cruiser like a Mk3! (your fillings fall out at 1000 km's into a 1800 km trip ;) )

    Electrical Connectors

    They cut into the wire and tend to corrode internally (dissimilar metals) so you end up with a weak point in the wire physically and a bad electrical connection.

    Wheel angle / \ question.

    If you lower the rear too far you actually run out of adjustment in the cams to get it anywhere near aligned! (I ended up cutting and welding some transverse arms to get it right on my car) Front seems to have enough adjustment to correct it even when slammed.

    Would you pay $975 for sawblades?

    My guess is his "Pro Painter" charged him $400 and he was trying to turn a modest profit but got a bit carried away thinking they're desirable!

    *Cad File Request*

    Had a play around using my A4 scanner and doing the scan in 2 halves this afternoon but it's not accurate enough for my purposes so I'll see if I can track down an A3 scanner to do it in one piece! <fingers crossed someone turns up with a Cad file already done>

    Starting up for the first time - issues

    Smokey: :( If it were me I'd dig up an unbutchered Loom and ECU as who knows what "Genius Mods" have been done to your old one...... The wiring on these cars is a nightmare at the best of times let alone when a rocket scientist has been at work! (where in Melb?)
