How is your engine bolted to the gearbox, proper bellhousing, or lash up/adaptor plate ?

Lashup adaptor plate of course

Well the one using a proper bellhousing, that didn't require bits of another bellhousing to be chiseled off uses a bar that bolts to where the OEM diesel mounting bars bolt up to at the front of their length.

This is bent into a U-shape under the engine. It then bolts up using two fluid OEM Audi 100 5 cylinder mounts on OEM Audi 100 castings that bolt to the block. There is also a proper rear cross member 'trumpet' mount to stop it tearing the gearbox in half.

When I get a few minutes I'll grab a picture of the bar as it's in my back garden since someone parked their Punto a bit close to the van it was in last.

Got a load of pictures of a genuine SA install as well as the parts:

Cradle, clutch cylinder mount, oil baffle plates etc

I'll organise them. Might be good for a Wikipedia article/file or something.
