New owner Spyder spaceframe!
Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2017 3:19 pm
Hi all,
Hoping you may be able to help me out here! I am in the process of restoring a 1970 plus 2s, and the body was lifted off what looks like it's origional chassis a couple of weekends ago. I have managed to purchase a brand new, second hand unused spyder spaceframe chassis and am worried I may be missing a couple of parts?
Do I require any special mountings for the twincam engine? I have new rubber engine mounts but looking at what images are available on the net, it looks as though some owners have metal brackets / tubes that mount to the rubber mounting and then onto the engine?
I also do not seem to have a mounting for the gearbox? Is this something I can reuse of the old chassis?
There are also pictures of different mountings for the rear shock absorber...my chassis simply has the uprights and a large circular hole in the moddle..Not the 'cradle' with 4 bolts that I have again seen on some pics.
Does anything look to be missing from the rear?
Any info gratefully recieved, Hoping for some slightly warmer and less damp weather to lift the engine out and to get going with the strip down of the old rolling chassis.
Thanks very much,
Andy
