This thing looks like it will snap under the load that my T04E can put out.What do you guys think.This car obviously used to be a auto before it went to the junkyard.

looks like it's already sagging?



i wouldnt rely on it

Its new too.I just finished the last parts of it.I will weld it solid but its about 70% welded right now too.This pisses me off.I hope I don't have to swap out the T2 driveline. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

the point where it attaches to the trans has too much leverage over the bracket going to the car for my liking, I'd probably make new holes in the body for the bracket to mount to, under the trans mount location.



or move the trans back to where it can use the stock bracket location appropriately and have the driveshaft shortened.

Theres only two problems with doing either of those.A: The the drivetrain only goes so far back before my TII clutch slave hits the firewall plus my shift is in the sweet spot where it sits.B: I will have to weld some steel directly under the tranny to make it sit the way its supposed to.Why does this **** always happen to me? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif This swap is usually fairly easy but this is begining to piss me off. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

Doesn't look like it will hold.

I think you'll have to go with option B.

I thought you has a gsl-se you were doing this to? Either way I woulden't use that mount you have there. So the auto FB's have the crossmember mounts more rearword on the body?

the load is gonna be down. you need to somehow make that so you can take a downward load on it. i'm thinking of a cantilever setup, and use the stock mounting bolts as the center pivot, but that might just be nuts https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

My GLC has something like that to fit the 13B. It tilts too. :(

That will break for sure. To fix it add two piece of metal to each side like I have in the picture:



So you basically want two side pieces at 90 degrees so they nothing flexes. Probably one side piece would be enough, but two is better.
