RE: fitting kits

[Terry Rudd]

Leighton,   Indeed they aren't all that obvious at first looks. The passenger side mount is the one with the larger plate (~6.5" x 5") with 4 holes in it that is the block mounting side (it uses the holes closest to the turbo intake and the next two forward and you may have to remove the compressor if it has one (I can't remember for sure if they fit with the compressor on the engine. I've always removed it for no other reason than to get rid of it so I can get at what I'm doing with the turbo plumbing)  and the two holes (one smaller one above a larger one) is for bolting it up to the stock 1600 insulator - the smaller insulator locator hole is at the top. On the drivers side the insulator holes are forward of the mounting holes to the block and there are only 2 holes for the block mounting this side, and likewise the smaller insulator locator hole is upper most.    If you have a R30 engine with the electric oil sender still in place you have to either carefully remove the sender and adapter and use your L series one (same thread 1/8" BPT) or some folks just grind the mount to clear the R30 oil pressure sender adapter. The R30 only had a gauge so if wish to use both then you will need to do the changeover to your L series setup. Be extremely careful if you decide to remove the oil sender adapter as the ridge in the block near it is very brittle and prone to breaking away with the adapter, so give it plenty of penetrating oil beforehand so it releases it's grip on the block thread.   Hope this helps you out, regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Leighton Wolfe Sent: Thursday, 3 April 2003 11:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: fitting kits to all you people out there who have fitting and FJ to you 1600 using a fitting kit i was wondering if you could help me???      i have just got mine in the mail from stewart wilkins motorsport???   the fabricated enginemounts  dont look like the have enough holes in one of the mounts that mount to the block     im prolly not just seeinghow this all work at the moment  buti thought i would ask yas all     thanx   Leighton ----- Original Message ----- From: Zac Campbell To: Ozdat Sent: Monday, March 24, 2003 10:40 PM Subject: car parts on your head OK OzDatters, so recently we had the whole story with accompanying photos of a datto gearbox on mark k's head....
