Gearbox mount

[jbcollier]

I have a ‘69 Lotus Seven S3.  Sometime in the past, a PO removed the stock gearbox support and had two sections of square tubing added.  This probably was part of a “improvement kit” sold by either Arch or DSK.  I’m looking for a replacement mount.  It is not the same as Caterham used.  The photos below show the old mount next to a Caterham mount.  The last photoshows the two back to back.  Any idea where the mount I have might have come from?

Looks like a 105E mount - see if this is it and the dim's match up

Genius!  Thanks

On a side question, do you have a picture of the gearbox mount mod to the chassis?  If like to compare and see if it's the same as my mod.

Cheers

Thanks.  Looks similar but not quite the same as mine.  What engine and box is in there?

[jbcollier]

Stock Ford 1600GT crossflow and a 2000e tranny.  Standard fare for a very late S2 and the S3s.

The mount is not stock.  The old riveted in mount has been drilled out and this welded in, along with some other bracing and reinforcements.  I have read the both Arch and DSK offered reinforcement and tranny mount kits of parts ready to be welded/brazed into place.

Thanks, not work the same as mine then as the change was made to move the BDR backwards in the chassis by Scott 1".  Interesting stuff!
