Joel,
thanks for that,I'll grab it for a look.
as for dodgy conversions,one that springs to mind was a datto 1600 that was in at an exhaust shop I use a while back,getting a basic system put under it.
it had received a 13BT conversion. leaving aside the fact that having a turbo 13b is illegal for that chassis,so the car was being dummied up minus the turbo to get through rego,and it would then be added once the car got through;the engine mounts were some of the scariest work I have seen in 11 years of work.
the crossmember had been gutted to clear the bottom of the engine,but not re-inforced afterward,and the mounts were so badly done(small square plates of steel mig welded together to make a small squarish shape) I was making bets that they would snap the first time the owner dropped the clutch.
I wish I had had a camera on the day.
Justin...
