    Engine Cradle

    Does anyone know of any extra engine cradles or have one out of the car they can do measurements on?

    I'm looking to duplicate it for a project.

    Thanks!

    Yep, just the frame. Don't need any of the suspension, etc with it.

    It's allot to ask, but is it possible for you to create a drawing with measurements we can use to create a new one?

    Series 1 or 2 and does it have a trans / driver side lower removable cross member?

    Series 1

    Not sure about the cross member, I'd have to look, but I'll say for this purpose though it shouldn't matter, as it shouldn't change the general dimensions/mounting points right?

    yeah, the removable cross member doesn't affect the overall dimensions from what I've seen in pictures. Looks like it's cut and round 4 bolt flanges were welded on where the cuts were made then bolted together.
    Not sure why they all weren't like this. FYI I plan on adding this feature to my car. Changing a clutch without being able to remove the trans is a nightmare.

    Sounds like the new one will be with this design as well. Hopefully I can get dimensions of one without pulling mine.

    Who bought the aluminum rear sub frame? I cant remember , but I bet they could get you measurements.

    Seems to me with belly pan off you could get most measurements while its still in car.
