The search went through the whole of the USA and finally we Cummins Parts found just what we required. And as per usual every new part presents new challenges. This meant repositioning the engine forward, left and down into the power train frame to allow the clearance. NO BIG DEAL, Right? Wrong, now we have to make new mounts for the engine and the transmission and the OTT Industries overdrive unit. So Kevin grumbling something about me always building from the outside in, instead of the proper way, inside to out, spent several hours redrawing the new design of mounting system. (DIVERSIONS has hundreds of hours donated to the project and Kevin spends weeks working for bragging rights only! Thank you Muchly.) It is very much better than the previous one as it allows full adjustment so that when we make changes (hope we don't) the mounts can accommodate the change. The drawing have been sent to our sponsor Sean Frankforth of Frankforth Water Jet Cutting and are ready for welding at AGGRESSIVE TUBE BENDING and then plating by KOOL Coat.
