    Keith that's a good looking jigga, something to pass the day on.
    Are they 7.5 x16 tyres, they look sooo big for some reason.

    Tyres are 235 85 I think. I wanted the Defender rims and these tyres are what was on them.
    Axle housings are 1950 with coarse spline disco centres and series 2 floating shafts at the back.
    Gearbox 2a D suffix.
    I think I like the look and am inclined not to paint it.

    Here is how I did the engine mounts. Others used the original round two piece mounts stuck under the I.P. on the RHS.
    I chose to keep the chassis mounts original so the 1600 cc engine can be put back in the future but have fabbed up a mount outside the I.P. with a later rubber mount used.

    The engine is of course a 200 TDI without the T crossed or the I dotted.
    [For the present anyway]
    Today I welded in a couple of brackets to the front Xmember to take the radiator support.
    Cut the thread off the water pump nose to make more room.
    Cut and shut the oil cooler lines.

    Interesting Keith.
    What clearance do you have for the bonnet over the valve cover once fitted and did this entail any bulkhead mods at all to showhorn in?
    thanks

    The starter housing fouled so I ground a bit off it after I cut a bit off the curve of the bulkhead. In hindsight I think I could have left the bulkhead alone and ground more off the housing.
    Engine to bonnet clearance looks OK.

    Bulkhead/housing... I guess options depend on how much the mounts will allow the engine to twist with torque.. and which way the eng/gbox will try to turn when rev'd hard... Be interested to know how it all turns out when completed. Thanks.
