I have been very slowly rebuilding my Defender replacing my 200tdi with the 3.9 V8 and auto box from a 1998 Disco. I’m just on the first challenge of many where I’m trying to slot the engine and box into the chassis.
I know the engine mounts are in the wrong place btw. It’s still an open case with Richards. The transfer box is my old one from the Defender and slots in nicely on the chassis mount, but the gearbox mount seems to be way off.
Is there a different mount that goes on the gearbox, or a chassis mount that I can bolt on in place of the Defender one. I can’t remember how it attached on the old Disco and having scuttled under a similar age Disco V8 auto at Peterborough last year I am non the wiser. Can anyone shed some light please. I promise I have googled and run a search on the forum.
Thanks.
