Right lads as you all no Iv got clearance issues haha, Iv not got much room at all for a gearbox mount so I was thinking of a sold box mount polly bushed front and polly engine mount...

Do you think that will cause any issues??

not for you as the car will be for competition use so any harshness or vibration will be parr for the course

yes it will cause problem, you need have same firmness for engine mounts all around or you will have one side with flex and other locked.

also is bad idea have engine mounts too stiff as you put additional stress on internals, yes car for competition have stiff mounts but thats just fraction of upgrades what will be done to have properly balanced car

Due to clearance I cannot use anything like that in the gearbox I guess ill need to think of something els but Iv seen a few people running solid mounts in other cars

About 7mm haha I was thinking maybe get a block of polly bush and then bolt through it??

That's 7mm after 5mm of steel plate to mount the box to what ever

Iv looked at doing that but the only way I can do that is if if I cut into the leg towards the tower as I Carnt mount it to any of the bolts as they are hidden and blocked under the leg and I Carnt mount it into the wheel arch as the suspension is bang in the way
