feel a lot happier now I know which direction I am going, had a little hiccup when it came to fitting the gearbox........at the prop end there were two large nuts sticking out that stopped the gearbox from going into the trans tunnel, found out these housed the springs that allows left to right springed movement of the gear lever .....so I removed 3mm of alloy gearbox on either side and then it would fit into the tunnel then replacing the aforementioned springs and nuts but these will need to be removed each time I wish to remove/refit the gearbox.....small price to pay, because of this I have been able to get the gearbox a good way back allowing the gear lever to be level with the steering wheel.....land rover engine mounts have been utilized in the gearbox mounting
just the engine mounts to do now
gearbox mounting points
gearbox anti vibe mounts
gear lever position
