........ Almost had to search RTz's car before he left. LOL
You should have... I made off with your Euro tail lights

Is this what you're looking for?

My wife and I made a trip out to see Brian on Saturday. Got my grubby little hands on the CF spoiler... it looks even better in person. I had to exercise my inner Scrooge to keep from leaving with it.
Thanks again, Brian, for all the hospitality!

You happy with driveline angles we discussed ie straight line from gbox output to diff flange?
Yes, I am now. The combination of the RT diff mount, 1/2" crossmember spacers, and offsetting the trans mount 7/16", puts the driveshaft nearly dead straight, and the bottom of the oil pan flush with the bottom of the crossmember.

He'll never need to wash it.

One of the aspects of this swap I'm looking forward to is no blasted U-joints in the driveshaft. Using the BMW shaft means a Guibo up front and a CV joint in the rear. So, an adapter was built to mate the BMW CV to the Datsun pinion flange...

The lazy mans mount...

the new frame looks like it centers the cross member but the rear end diff is still offset? which means you will also have to center the rear diff also for drive shaft angle correction.
The crossmember in a stock car is also centered.

Drill bit? Whats that? I build holes with files
Passenger mount still needs more 'filing'

I don't believe in hell...
Give yourself an infraction. Me too, while you're at it

Motor mounts are fab'd from 10ga (.135" thick) mild steel. Still need some finishing touches and paint...
A few notes...
Currently using stock BMW 325 isolators. These are not known to hold up to abusive driving, so a set of aftermarket isolators will be fitted.
To get drive line angles sorted, I lowered the nose of the diff. (with an RT mount, of course
) and the crossmember is shimmed down 1/2". In this position, the oil pan is flush with the bottom of the crossmember.Clearance between the pan and the rack is 1/2" at the lowest point (diver's side). If the racks radial-locating-dongle-bracket (or whatever the heck it's called) is slid to the passenger side, the full 1/2" clearance can be kept.
The transmission mount was modified from the previous post. I was aware that the trans. mount was offset to the pass. side, and I was thinking that it aligned with the diff. I'm only half correct... it's offset about 1/2 the distance... 7/16" at the mount, wherarese the diff. is offset 15/16". I'll post the modified pictures next time I remove it.

We'll be here when you get back
Best wishes, and thank you!

Hoov, you don't even deserve a response

I was told on Thursday night they were ready to ship. Hopefully they'll come in this week.

Halfway to a commercial license.
I'm sure Braap, Globerunner and Proxlamus will also 'introduce' themselves
-
I stand on the 5th.

You guy's crack me up
I got the shipping sorted out today. I'm hoping to have these in my hands by end of next week. I'll shoot some pictures and provide pricing just as soon as they arrive. And, if it makes you feel any better, they will cost less than a case of beer (except Skib, of course!).

You might be surprised how much you get for $35 dollars.

So how much are we looking at for these bad boys?
One million dollars.

For Skibby? One sticker per case
