I'm using a berg style mid mount like Alex linked to, no front mount, german rubber rear mounts with a heavy duty rear cross-member with tranny strap. For added torsional support I have a 3-bar kafer brace from Lanner. Its not on the road yet but there are a few people out there running a similar setup.

Other things you need to do are grind down the webbing on the trans nose cone and get a plug to fit the back-up light sender because it will hit the torsion tube. Thus no back-up lights unless you hook up a switch somewhere else like on the shifter.

What I really need is something like this: (Rich, I hope you don't mind me using a pics from your site. http://www.ricola.co.uk)


It's close to the one Alex and Mike pointed out, but it seems to have better mounting fot the framehorns..

Rob,

The pic you posted is right on the money. I'm not 100% but I'm fairly certain that you could use that instead of a front mount. Using any other tranny "supports" wouldn't be a bad idea either. Wheel hop will kill your tranny in quick order, so there is no such thing as too much support!

Keep us posted,

Alex
