I found a nice heavy duty trans mount plate at CSP(California) for $29. I ordered it along with some Berg HD rubber front and rear mouns.
Project 69 i will also be doing a 5 bar kafer cup rear setup soon as my brace comes in from miami. I also want to use the heavy duty tranny support as an anchoring point for the bar instead of the frame horn. I thing there should be a picture here to help us with the process.

Sandeep,

Off topic, but got a Dremel question. What kinda bits or discs do you use to cut metal. I can't seem to find any that are worth a darn. Got any tips?

Nick

The more expensive "cut off wheel" is worth the money since the cheap stone cut off disc's will break very easily.

I contacted a shop.

The price will be under 200 Euros for the setup. Not sure on how much under 200Euros. A 5 bar setup will also be an option for extra money. I will get details soon hopefully. The more we get the cheaper it will get too.

boygenius
hybrid_john
zydeco
jrinlv

are interested for now.

You better let me know if you are really interested because I do not want to do the leg work and later nobody buys it. I already have mine so I am doing this to help out.
