    Gearbox mounts

    The only photos i have of the gearbox crossmember of my build are these You dont really see much though. One thing i’ll point out though, on the lower photo you see how far back the 200tdi chassis mount is! I fabricated my own engine brackets to pick up off the 200tdi chassis mounts

    Not the thread of the century, but wondering ...

    You can get them a LOT cheaper than that one (the one in the link is covered in leather) There around £350+vat brand new. But thats only for the main part if the dash, the bits and bobs are extra of course.

    Td5 bulkhead

    You’ll have to cut the tunnel off and modify the heater hole at least. And you’ll lose the flaps

    Ive seen the nas centre console for sale on the ashcroft site with the option for no gear selector hole. Would the discovery selector fit nicely with the nas centre console or are the gearstick and hi lo/difflock too close together i wonder?
