Mounting a Tranny (cont'd)

Further progress was made Sunday. Now all that's missing is the 1x1 crossbeam that will be welded to the chassis, and the drilling of the bolt holes. Oh, and the mounting bracket will get a gusset in the "elbow" of the L to reduce stress on the weld. Unfortunately this part of the bracket has to clear the speedometer cable so I can't make the gusset as beefy as I would like. The transmission will be isolated from the chassis by 1/2" rubber bushings made from a hardware store rubber stopper (not pictured).
