Hi all,

have been fettling a replacement piece for my subby mounts and just want to do some measurements before welding it in. Like a pillock I didn't do any measuring before removing doh !!



As I understand it the mount holes are 50.5" apart on centres, is this correct??

Also are there anyother measurements I should look at??

I have searched the forum but cant find what I am after !! ie a drawing of the heelboard !!

Hi i'm rebuilding my rusted clubman and i'm in the middle of doing the rear sub mounts. I made heelboard mounts myself and i now wished i'd bought a new heelboard panel. The time i spent measuring then making, out of 1.5mm steel for strength but a bugger to work with, then checking and rechecking that the front and rear subs were parrallel. Then when i made both and welded them in i noticed they weren't mirror images! The cost of a new heelboard is about fifty notes or so, simply bolt it onto the sub then chock up the sub until its level with the body and parrallel with the front then tack in place, simpels! I wished i'd done it and think it would be the easiest way, learn from my mistakes!!!!

Thats what i got, i forget the distance between the 2 mounting holes though. 75mm rings a bell

The distance between the holes each side is not the problem, it's the placing of the mount itself. Parallel to the bodywork sounds good, as long as the 50 1/2 " is the distance !!
