Problem or technical question?

gearbox cradle bolt fiesta xr2i

Postby Razer on Sun Feb 24, 2013 10:46 pm

When refitting my gearbox cradle, i can't find 1 bolt
it's located at the front of the cradle, and is the upper bolt of the mount that connects the gearbox to the cradle ( black u shaped mount ) I think it has 2 diffrent sizes of thread with a spacer on it halfway

Who has a picture of it, so i can look in my spare parts or get it at a scrapyard

Its a small spacer that goes on before the mount then a 13 mm bolt holds the mount on
I just put a box in a fez and there might be one left over if u dont get one
Unless its the one with the nut on it with blue enginneres thread on it ,if its that one then iv deffo got one ill send you but if itz the top one then its the 13mm

It's the one on top, the 13 mm one with a spacer between the cradle mount and gearbox.
The treadth on the gearbox side is diffrent then the one on the mounting side

thats deffo it mate the other 1 or 2 thats holding the mount on are like what your thinking with a 17mm nut on one side and the other side in the gearbox ,you slide the mount on over those ones and the top one getts the spacer first then the mount then the 13mm
