Hi Guys

my first post on this site

normally a silent accumulator of the knowledge shared here


i just started working on a 52 split

have finished the flooring so finally got the body off and started wok on the suspension, brakes and mechanical

when i looked at the gear box mounting and the gear box, it was very new to me
never had the usual two side mounting , had a single piece which i tried to find online but could not
needed to know whether my gear box is correct or is it a bus gear box, also where could i find this mounting.
have uploaded a picture with the part number as well

below part number are on the gear box
21.02.4
21.09.1
21.01.4

that is the correct transaxle and cradle for a 52 split.

new cradles/mounts are not available, you may need to have it 'restored' with new rubber bonded between the two pieces of metal.

Look in the parts listing on samba. They appear from time to time. There may still be one recently listed there.
