Howdy folks.
The 1st jig thread was getting a little long so I thought I'd start a new one just for booking the use of the TB 3SGTE into AW11 engine mount jig.
For those new to the 1.5 funhouse the jig is a bit of kit cobbled together between Paul and myself that allows engine mounts to be easily located into a MK1 chassis without the need to faff around putting the engine in first and lining things up. (Please note this is NOT suitable for "fat arsed, tartan travel blanket wearing, I should have been born an American" type V6 swaps, just the true bred 3SGTE goodness.)
The jig in use in MisterTwoKW's swap.
*** UPDATE, pre-cut engine mounts are now available and can be shipped with the jig upon request. Priced at £25 to big members. ***
Alternatively free downloadable engine mount templates are provided in this thread:-Templates
You can either cut these out yourself from plate, or hand the cad file straight to a machine shop.
The story of the jig can be found here:- Old thingymajig thread
We don't really do terms and conditions at TB but I'm afraid there are a few for this one...
(01) A recipient must post a request on this thread, this will then be OK'd and the jig sent off. (If you would PM me a telephone number this would also be appreciated.)
(02) Please don't ship without an OK first. I'd also request that the sender also post when the jig has left their possession and the recipient to say that it's arrived safely.
(03) The jig must be shipped insured for at least £200. It has taken a long time to build, and its loss would be an inconvenience. A method of shipping requiring a signature is also a must. (To give an idea I was quoted £25 next day shipping inclusive of £250 insurance.) If handed over rather than shipped then please split previous shipping costs to minimise one person's expense.
(04) Big members only please.
(05) Please sign the jig with your name, user name, reg. no. and date after use. Pictures are always welcome!
(06) There is no charge for the use of the jig, Big Members have paid already. That said a donation of any size would certainly win friends and influence people! :nunu: (Linky on the homepage.)
Right I think that just about does it, normal service will now be resumed.
