adaptor plate or not?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Without worked for me every time (I seem to use a lot of 1.6 lumps in my SJ)

Jimny 1.6 not as good as an SJ but still good

for the people that ran without did you just use the top two bolts or fab something to support the bottom? any pics would be ideal thanks!

Take the bottom studs out of the gearbox and wind them in the other side.

Then just weld a bit of studding to the side of it and another to the side of that bit to pass through the 1600 block.

I can get photos but not till late tomorrow.

Think Trotter has some though.
