I tried to email you directly but it keeps getting bounced back to me. Sorry for the rest of you but don't know a better way...<br>

<font face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif">I posted this a while back, but it will keep <font face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif">everything aligned pretty much no matter what.<br>

<div style="font-family:Comic Sans MS, sans-serif;color:black;font-size:14pt;"><i> I will assume this car has the stock style trans mount, not the later
TR6 style setup...yeah I know about assuming anything, but here I go.<br>
In order to keep the rear of the trans where it belongs and yet allow
some movement and insulation this is the mod I have utilized.<br>
Remove the 2 trans to mount bolts and drill straight down thru those
mounting holes thru the small trans crossmember. Enlarge those new holes
in that crossmember to about 5/8" or so. Purchase 2 new bolts that are
threaded all the way and are long enough to go thru the trans, the trans
mount and the crossmember. Drop the bolt thru the trans and trans mount
and start a nut up the bolt to tighten the trans to the mount. The bolt
will now extend thru the trans, the mount (tighten the nut securely to
hold them together) and the crossmember. Use a large washer and a nyloc
on the bolt where it now extends thru the crossmember. Tighten this
nylock only until it "just" contacts the crossmember. Because the bolt
is smaller than the hole you just drilled it will allow the trans to
move a small distance in any direction, but will stop any excessive
movement, including saving the radiator in event of a serious impact!<br>
