Engine Datum point measurement

[Paul Woods]

Hi chaps,i gave this reference pic to nik during his swap to help position his engine,although i wouldnt recommend using these measurements to locate the engine,its a useful image for getting it near.Note that the measurements to the strut top bolts are to the centre of the stud and that all measurements ultimately depend on engine height and rotation(torque mount location) enjoy!

Anyone tell me where this pic is guys? I'm taking the honourable non-jig route and just want to see whether I'm in vague agreement with someone else. It doesn't seem like there are many options but I'd rather make sure I haven't forgotten summat. (no snide comments about me finally getting round to putting the engine in after 6 months either :D )

Well I didn't finally do anything in the end. I have a ball missing from the o/s tulip assembly, and with only 5 balls it wouldn't let it flex enough to adjust the motor position - so try again once peebs kindly sends me one of his spare balls :)

Well lets face it, he's a big lump that drives a probe so he probably won't have cause to use them.

O.S.
