Question Auto to Manual Swap Mounting Brackets

Hey when doing the auto to manual swap, you need a custom fabricated bracket to hold the new tranny in the correct place right? coudl sombody send me some pictures of those that they've made in the past or perhaps give me a point in the right direction to purchasing some of them? i unfortunately don't have the tools neccicary to make them (SAD) and was wanting to do the swap sometime in the near future to my 90 vert.


THanks
MuCh,
Matt

i don't want a TII. i just want a decent rx-7 that handles well and something that gets decent gas mileage.

and i really want good input on this post so i'm not gonna be a goof on this one.

a turbo is just one thing i really don't need to be worrying about at this point in my life (me being 21 and poor)

Where the crossmembers mount to the body are about 6" further back on the auto's--thanks mazda--I drilled out the spot welds from my manual donor car and welded them to the auto's chassis

I just got some info from an awesome guy on the forum and he said that the vert could possible have mounts for both the auto and the 5 speed tranny, is there anybody out there who could confirm this for me?


Hailers or Icemark--you guys would probably have a good idea also so i look forward to hearing form ya.

Peace,
Matt
