Allright, straight back from the garage, and my caliper says that the front mount varies from .198 to .205. Probably as you said Skiddy, 3/16.
The rear mount is .25.
All of this is in inches, BD.
If you're going to build one, a few things to watch out for:
-The lower right part in the pic mounts to the pan. The semi-circle bite out is necessary to clear part of the tranny nosecone.
-The 'W' shaped part fits below/forward of the bellhousing, and is designed to clear two webs on top, and give access to the tranny drainplug on the bottom. It doesn't do either well.
-The 'W' shaped part is where the 10 degrees comes from. It's not 90deg from the axis of the red bushings.

I am trying to build a Bus-to-bug-mount , these measurements will make it a lot easier. In mm or inch.

Thanx in advance :D

I bought one of the McKenzie 10deg. tranny mount. I think its about the best way to go. I also got a 2.0 liter type 4 and the beefed up bus tranny that goes with it.
:D :D

The biggest reason besides being a much stronger mount then most is that it allows you to fit the shift linkage in the tunnel and not have to cut up the tunnel to make it fit.

just wondering if anyone decided to make/ coppy the Barrett mounts?
Im going to be in the market for one.

I tried to find the info for the McKenzie tranny mount but their catalog has a graph paper look to it that covers all the info so all I can see is the little pics.
Whats the price?

The McKenzie mount is right around $200 shipped I believe. Call to order, don't trust their web site...

I bought one and have been abusing it for a few months now. It works great. Don't be surprised if you have to shorten the shift rod slightly to make it fit. If so, make it adjustable to allow fine tuning the shifter.

I'm guessing no one has noticed that the "McKenzie" 10* mount is being sold by Pacific Customs now as well... and under $200 shipped

just thought I'd put that out there for you guys... It'll be part of my BIG order from them.

Didn't realize that. One thing to keep in mind on that mount, it'll require more work to make it fit later model 002 trans than it does the early ones due to extra ribs. A little grinding fixes it, and it'll still work on the later one without any problems.

Anyone have pics from below the frame horns to see how low the trans hangs with the 10* mount?
