Mounts

I'll post some stuff here that may not exactly fit into any other area, or, maybe I will post it here anyways.

 

 

 

I used the mount cradle from Granny's SpeedShop. I found it fit well and was made very well. It was easy to install. Granny's Cradle Kit
This is the Mazda power steering rack ready for the engine cradle to be installed.

Remove the pressure lines making note which line goes in which hole. Remove the bolts from the anti-sway bar & the steering rack mounts.

RX7 steering rack
You need to trim off the steering shaft cover to slide the engine cradle in place.

With the lines removed, you are ready to slide the cradle under.

Trimming boot
Pass the steering rack's lines through the opening in the cradle and connect BEFORE you mount the cradle. It's impossible to connect the lines after the cradle is in place. Be sure you connect the lines to the correct opening. You will have to bend them a bit, and it's possible to make put them in the wrong opening! Tightening fittings
Here is the cradle in place, all tightened down with the steering rack mounting tightened down. Installed engine cradle
