Just tried to fit my 302 onto my Roy Smart engine mounts, but found that it didn't fit! The holes in the mounts when fitted to the engine are at least an inch or so too wide (each side) to fit into the mounts in the chassis. The distance between holes in the chassis mounted mounts (?) is 1ft 3 1/2 inches. Can anyone tell me if this is the standard distance on a GTD?
My local american spares shop tells me there are only one style of 302 mounts in the style I have?
