Rear gbox mount - Spyder
Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2020 12:09 pm
I have hit a small snag, and Spyder have not answer my mails, so another question please.
I understand there is a spacer somewhere at the rear of the gearbox that go a long way to lowering the front of the engine. I am not sure if this spacer is a fixed height, nor if it is an optional item.
What I do know is that my car does not have anything resembling a spacer and the front of the engine needs lowering. Will someone please tell me where this spacer should be, is there a fixed height or if not, how high can I raise the rear? Importantly, where does it fit please? I can only see it being behind the large bolt holding the mount on, or are there two spacers sitting bewteen the mount feet and the chassis plate?
I think I have found the Lotus (or is it the Spyder?) 'gotcha' - it is not welding the 5/16" mounting bolts to the feet, yes? Or are there more yet to reveal themselves..
Thanks
Hal
