I going to be droping my L18 and 180b sss dogleg 5speed into the auto 510 and i was wondering if theres a standard gbox xmember mod? Or should i use a combination of 610 xmember and the auto 510 one,? Or cut up the auto 510 one and mod/weld it to suit? Or buy some steal plate make a totally custom one?   I havn't bolted the motor/box in as yet but it will be done this week so any help would be greatly appreciated.   thanx and havea good one   Michael --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to membersozdat@datascribe.com.au No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this outgoing message.
