Re: gearbox mount mk1
To get back to the original question ( 
), all the cars I've had always had a (set)screw in those positions. And, I've had these cars long enough that they were using the original fixings.
Cheers,
Mike.

I weld the two bolt heads to a strip of steel. Same with the front Xmember bolts (4 sets). That way they are captive for one man operation.

We're both well, and as busy as ever. I need to give up the day job!
Yes, we have it in the diary. I wonder what delights C&A have arranged for us this year? Looking forward to it.
Cheers,
