I was skimming through this thread again and and noticed in Post# 35, Gavin used the 240D manual transmission X mount, and modified it to fit.

Use the X mount from a 240D automatic. It is wider and uses 4 17mm bolts. actually the next set of mounting holes back.

He also shows using the plug from the Nutral safety switch (NSS) and making a plug adaptor.

I removed the NSS plug/harness where it comes through the body, RTV`d thehole closed. there is a plug connector above the carpeted pannel above the drivers knee.
The back up light switch plug, from the shifter assembly, plugs into this plug above the drivers knee.

There are 2 purple wires that are for the starter, and the other 2 in the plug are for the back up lights.

This is a great write up, and I don`t want to take away from what he did.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
