Why are you importing KMT 90 from Germany?
I suppose the right end of the sump would be in the way of the front PP?
It would be helpful if you can add pics. of the plates which accommodate the original factory engine mounts.
The missing choke cable, alternatives please.
I will check and see if the cross member needs to be pushed back , but it will definitely hurt the break over angle.
Now you stumped me with the Mercury HG meter thing. I don't knows its original place or use.
Of course I will need more info and need your help.
Thanks for this too, Sincerely. Regards, |
I'm buying the transmission from Germany because I couldn't find any locally and not even neighboring countries.
Well, as I understand you already have the KMT-90 in place. I said I'll need to push the center crossmember back because I have no intentions to change the position of the engine.
You already have the KMT-90 installed, so do a measuring and check if the engine will clear the radiator. If there's enough space (I believe there is) you won't need to do anything to the transmission and the crossmember. Just bolt the engine on and decide where the mounting plates will go.
Yes, the right part of the sump is on the way. The part that you have pointed in the first photo. See the photo below how my father fixed that problem. See the first photo.
I've also taken photos of the mounting plates. You can see that the original are left in place, just in case you want to drop the Hurricane back in. As your engine will be fitted a bit more to the front due to the transmission, I don't know if you there will be enough space to keep the original ones in place. See the photos (2,3) taken from the front and from below.
Photo number 4 shows the choke cable mounting. The cable goes all the way to the fuel pump (mine is made by Lucas). I don't know if another part will fit.
About the mercury gauge, I think about the element. This one is the original and doesn't work with electricity but with mercury like a thermometer. In photo 5 you can see it's mounting location.
9. The KMT-90 has the starter notch on the right side, and the starter on the XD2 is mounted on the left side. In addition, the starter gets in the way of the steering box so you will need to fit it on the other side anyway. This is an easy fix.
10. Consider cutting the firewall a bit if the engine is too far away from the transmission. This is already done on mine. The KMT-90 is longer and you have bolted it in the T-90's place, so this probably won't need to be done on yours.
If you have any additional question feel free to ask.
