Motor Mounting Almost Finished

The complete Motor Mount. The orange thingy is my hoist - the motor mount is the black bit.

Motor mounted on frame. The chosen method of installing it all in the car is to drag it back under the car with a piece of rope going under the car up the back. For that reason I removed the terminal box again. I have about 310mm from the car's front cross-member to the floor (car is on 4 x 100mm chunks of wood under the tyres). The motor is about 285mm without the terminal box.

Once under the car, I reached down and lift the front of the motor frame onto the front cross-member and drag it forward a little bit. Resting on rags so as not to scrape any paint.

Now here's the hard bit. I was going to use a jack but I could not get it under the motor far enough back to do any good. Since I still have the covers off the transmission "hump", I used the same rope around the rear cross-member and, making sure I could lift it OK... stopped for dinner.

I should get it bolted up tonight. Then I'll check how much REAL space I have for the terminal box and hack that into shape - again!
