Whole install - from this angle you can see the Miata caliper,
twinlink, adjustable links, NG brace and mount. Note the original under loop
support for tranny is gone. The FF type brace and mount makes the rear of the
tranny very rigid with no chance of sag. The brace comes out with four bolts
making the removal of engine and tranny a snap.
Front left - here you can see the clearance in the front for the
pulleys and cooling pipes. The alternator is attached to the engine mount and
resides in the frame space on right side. One belt for water pump and
alternator. You can also see the extent of the Brake lines with no boosters.
Rear Left - this is a better view of rear suspension and adjustable
links. Trailing off the bottom left is a shift cable which will be bent around
to address the side to side lever on the back of the tranny Which is not
installed. The lever you can see is the front-back part of the pattern.
The cable for it will be an almost straight line from the shifter. You can
also see the header duplicates the path of cross under exhaust the TC used.
"Coincidence," I think not.
NG Brace - right hand side of setup
engine front - This shows the pulley room and set up from above front.
The AC compressor goes in the frame space on the driver's side. Please, note:
the clutter does not indicate a disastrously messy garage...it is there for
scale :)
