Rear engine mount might be worth a quick inspection too - much easier with the engine out of the car.

What is the situation exactly - you're putting an ABF into your shell - or just rebuilding an ABF and putting it back into its original shell?

He is fitting the ABF in a 8v.  :rolleyes:

No, I mean - wouldn't it make more sense to put it into a 1.6 driver or a 1.3? Then there would be no messing with looms, brakes etc. it should just drop right in?








Lolz :laugh: I'm only messin, you must have your reasons :)
