I am having a small (hopefully) problem regarding the installation of my 
shiney rebuilt 2000 GT6 engine into the space previously occupied by a worn 
out 1500.  I have the engine and 'box pushed back as far as possible but the 
sump rests on the steering rack and there is 1/8" gap between the rubber 
mounts and the brackets attached to the engine.  I can get all the bolts 
though the mounts but the engine still rests on the rack.  Can I add some 
spacers between the mounting points, or have I missed something?  I have a 
vague recollection of reading somewhere that the front suspension towers are 
slightly different between Spit and GT6, is this the problem?  Chassis bits 
are all originally Spitfire.

Pat
