PeteH Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi can anyone identify this part?, and advise it`s location. I think I have got it down to part of the Chassis, in way of the Rear Diff:? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpingFrog Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 It goes on the gearbox, there's a rod that goes from this to the gearbox mount on the chassis, with a bush at either end. The bar is usually missing, not exactly sure of its intended purpose. But I assume it's some sort of torque link to stop the mounts twisting?

Ben Caswell Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Haynes WSM issue 010 page 105(removing the gear box) photo3. 7. Paragraph 6 and 7 Says where fitted this stay restricts the fore and aft movement of the power unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Just the stabiliser bracket for the gearbox, it goes from the underside of the gearbox to a bracket between the main chassis rails. It's supposed to reduce flex caused by vehicle movement. I've only ever seen one actually fitted, and most seem to have been removed when the rubbers wore out and thrown away. The rubber mountings look to be the same as top front shock absorber mountings, or very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Think this as only required on pre 62 cars with flat front engine mounts stops the fan hitting the rad on emergency stops The later dovetail mount doesnt need the tie rod Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 HI Thanks Guys. Been scratching the (baldish) head over that. Looking in the wrong place. As I didn't remove the "box I was not aware. What I did not wish to do, was find that it went in some hard to access space, once the tubs have been refitted to the Chassis.. Odd that it was with the diff "parts"? As this is a 1971 Reg (1970 Build?) 13/60? Convertible, which I bought rolling but part disassembled.
