we are getting dangerously close to finishing up with mounting the complete drive train . the diff is mounted the engine is located , just needs some bolts to the subframe,and the trans brackets and mounts are made ,
so that leaves the driveshaft, snice we moved the engine so far back, I was certain we would have to get one custom made, but after taking measurement to start that process Dave ( synro design works) remember that the measurement was the same as an E36 automatic M3 driveshaft, we located one and BAM dirveshaft done! now we just need to fab up some center suport brackets , and we are finished with mocking up the drivetrain . this is a huge step forward.
mocking in the drive shaft center suport facing towards the diff
looking towards the trans,
and from the interior
notice were we cut out all of the E-Brake and its brackets to make room for the new center support location . also the tricky work going into the pass side mount , thanks to Frank at Syncro !
