grumpy2 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Spent a happy hour yesterday trial fitting the new exhaust, have to break for the festivities but in case anyone has a spare minute thought I post a question Everything has gone on swimmingly except for one bracket http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID600071 Part 17 in this diagram is missing from my car ( ie I don't have one on the exhaust I removed) I've fitted this system http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID600077 And it has the same brackets for part 17 to attach to So here's where I have a query. I can make bracket 17 but where does it attach to on the car? Cheers, merry Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
openroad Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Happy Christmas Grumpy, It fits onto the gearbox mount,and has a set nut in it to wind one of the gearbox mount bolts through...on parts 28 and 29 of your system there are welded on eyes of different lengths which then bolt onto part no, 17. i also reckon i may have one somewhere..... Have fun, Conrad........been out for a drive this morning, roof down, santa hat on, delivering presents..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobinTR6 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Yo ho ho , The Sherriff of the Notts masquerading as Santa, no doubt you've been surveying the peasants and ensuring they are taking any time off for Xmas, well one good deed done Conrad. Good luck with exhaust fitting Grumpy, fitting stuff to gearbox mounts requires some laying down graft. Great day for a spin just got back, merry Xmas all Tiaras...OK should be TR'ers.

HarveyCoppock Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Non overdrive similar to this A type overdrive? J type bolts to a redundant stud facing backwards on the back of the overdrive with a different bracket, these become rear gearbox mounts on a saloon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grumpy2 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Photo is great thanks Yep I have an overdrive a type? J type? No idea it's a very early 72 CP car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grumpy2 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Don't suppose anyone has dimensions of the bracket? Not a massive problem if not but would give me a starting point other than a piece of cardboard. Thanks Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Non overdrive similar to this A type overdrive? J type bolts to a redundant stud facing backwards on the back of the overdrive with a different bracket, these become rear gearbox mounts on a saloon! Bracket is the same for non overdrive and they are available cheaply enough though you will find that the repro brackets need a little grinding off the side next to the gearbox mounting bracket so they sit at the slight angle towards the middle that is required.

grumpy2 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 No time to wait for shops to open and postal deliveries. I want the car up and running before new year and back to work! Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) In that case run without the gearbox bracket. I did on my 6 and also do on the 4A. Edited December 27, 2014 by peejay4A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
