--- Quote ---Porny, do you mean that the engine mounts were moved towards the bulkhead, as I've measured up & according to me thats the way it needs to go, but I don't know by how much. Are the 2 inches you mentioned an actual measurement?
--- End quote ---
The engine and box were moved 2" away from the bulkhead....i.e. the engine was moved closer to the radiator, which in turn moves the gearbox forwards.
However, this AFAIK is not actual measurements...
Although the engine and box were moved forward, I'm not sure of the relative position the mounts on either the engine or the gearbox... I seem to remember that the 300Tdi also has a different gearbox cross member.
I'd personally give Richards Chassis, or Marsland or even Buryas Bridge ring. Richards and Marshland both produce 300Tdi replacement chassis, and Buryas Bridge carry out numerours 300Tdi conversions.
I've spoke to Buryas Bridge and Richards Chassis in the past and found them both more than helpful.
The other place you could try is M&D who landyman1978 has already mentioned.
I know that you can mount the R380 box on the LT77 chassis mounts, if you take the mountings off the LT77. You could then weld the engine mounts to the chassis to suit.
However, this will mean your engine will sit further back than standard, which results in you having to modify hoses, oil cooler pipes, exhaust etc etc to fit.
Sorry I can't be of any help.

If anyone's doing the same, you need to leave the g.box mounts where they are & move the engine mounts back by about 45 mm.
cheers
