Engine brackets positioning
« on: Tuesday,February 09, 2021, 05:55:00 AM »
Hi I'm just about to reinstall the rebuilt engine but I'm not sure if the brackets are in the right position as they don't seem to fit square on the engine - see photo
Greatly appreciate any advice
Thanks
John

Hi John,
Was just looking at your rolling chassis - I may be wrong (it could be the camera angle), but you appear to have your anti roll bar and drop links mounted to the rear of your upper front wishbones - they should be on the front.
