Gearbox mount

Finally got around to fitting the gearbox mounting bracket. On this new chassis, the bracket on the chassis curves down, so the rubber bracket mounting bolts in from underneath.

I cut the sides off a while back: Gearbox mount fettle & was going to offer up the gearbox before fitting it, changed my mind today and using GBS advice mounted it centrally in the chassis bracket.

Faffed around a while back trying to mark it with the white pen, which broke, and only recently realised covering with masking tape would let me use a black one (doh!)

6mm pilot then opened up to 8mm holes:

Definitely easier to mount with at least one tunnel panel off, it allows room to swing the spanner:
