With some F4R sumps some clearance should be ground for the bottom most bolts.Ħ. 2x M12 bolts should be used at the top, two long M12’s should be used through the gearbox and through the starter motor (having first drilled the starter motor holes out to 12mm to match the gearbox) and finally a 12mm bolt should be used at the rear of the gearbox near to / behind the output flange. Note: using 12mm bolts where possible is important in order to properly align the gearbox. Using M12 bolts (where possible) and M10 bolts secure the gearbox to the mounting plate.
