New Idea!

[Addissimo]

My uncle relocated his shop and I wont have welding access for about 2 months. I'm really wanting to swap my old getrag 260 in. If anybody has extra time and would like to make me a mounting bracket for the 260 i'll compensate you with whatever you think is fair. Let me know.

PS. I should mention that I'm not bullshitting and actually do have money.

Edit: If somebody has the time to take their bracket out and trace it on an 11x17 sheet of paper and send it to me, I'd pay them $30. PM me to let me know.

I could make you one. I can't weld, and I don't know how to make a 260 bracket, so it wouldn't fit and wouldn't be able to support a piece of crap, but I could still try. You can tell me if you're interested.

Or if somebody could tell me if I'm just supposed to rotate the mounts 10 degrees clockwise looking at it from the rear... Is 10 degrees about right?

10 degrees is exactly right. I wish I could make one for you, but I have no skills in welding.

If someone could get some decent dimensions off of a finished bracket, I'd like to model it up and find someone to machine a billet bracket. Someone on this board posted a while ago that they work at or owned a shop and would do this type of stuff for us on the side. I'm sure a part like that would save a lot of people from the headache of fabbing up the part themselves. :idea:

If you send me some specs (drawing) of exactly what you want, I can do it for you.

You're probably the guy I was thinking of. I design parts for a living, in AutoCAD and Solidworks, so it's just a matter of getting accurate dimensions.

I haven't even begun my swap yet, so getting measurements myself is out of the question.

Just bumpin it up- read my edit on the first post.

Don't know anybody that's used this, but it has always looked interesting to me.

I have no problems fabbing the part, I just need to get dimensions at this point. The idea of taking my tranny off and putting my old one back to make a bracket when i'm not quite ready for it doesnt thrill me. If push comes to shove i'll get 'er done though. I really dont see the point in a billet support- welded steel will be fine and cheap.

Come on guys, someone do it, I'll buy one.

It's official, I'm doing a M50 swap into my e30

[Addissimo]

I'm going to do it this week while I wait on my SDS EFI to get here. I'll keep you posted.

I call dibs and get a place inline for the first person to make brackets hehe. I have money sitting and saved for it.
