    Move engine forward

    Is it possible to move the engine slightly forward on the slotted engine mounts and gearbox mounts?

    I want to move my engine forward so it's not hitting the triangles welded onto the side as the engine has gone quite a way back since going onto a single mass flywheel

    Yup, just done this myself...

    Slacken the engine and gearbox mounts, then jiggle it forward

      Get some offset subframe mounts to move the gearbox mounts into line too
