|
Hi Guy's!
My mechanic tell's me that my engine is tilting back slightly
he say's that the 2 engine mount fork's are angled downward and need repositioning.
do you think it just look's like that the exhaust is the wrong one and is to near to the ground
also the angle of the car from front to back look's odd?
ive just had the front suspension done do i need to get the back done with it
your help would be appreciated
thanks
mike

Looks like mine, on which the transmission carrier horns are sprung. The rubber engine seal *almost* reaches, but not quite.
I acquired another transmission carrier from teh Samba. I'm going to have a machine shop move the bolt holes slightly lower to raise the engine back up. Might be worth considering for you, too, until you can cut and reweld the transmission carrier horns.
Good luck! |

Wow, that is low. Something is going wrong under there. DO you have issues shifting or changing gears?
That top is different also. What's up with the front windows? Do they have a metal frame? |

I think you're linking to the thumbnails.
(BTW, you should really put some air hoses to your heater boxes.) |

I looked at the files in your links, and they had a *.th.jpg at the end. I experimented with removing the .th and viola! ) |
