It looked like your trans sits lower than mine sat. The above pic I copied from your first post suggests this also: the gearbox flanges are pretty low, like when you would put a CV onto them, they would hit the forks...
Could be optical illusion though...
My 100mm CV's on the 915 sat VERY close to the forks and stil it looked like I had more ground clearence.
Just thinking out loud with you here and hoping to give you some reference

Wally, The mounting position was set by Martin Bott's engine support. If it set any higher I couldn't close my deck lid. The camera angle may be the problem. I have 944 flanges on the trans. I could of easily took a hammer to the frame horns to make clearance for CV's, but what fun would that be

OK people. I just took some more pix, at a better angle, so you can see it doesn't sit any lower than the bottom of the lowest point on the trans case. I hope this helps. (I was looking at the pix and thought it looked low too after Clive posted)

Good angle as it is indeed not any lower than the tranny rib. No worries then

Wow, I even feel better about it now. I should have posted a better angle the first time Metal fabricators make lousy photographers!
