    Ford 5 speed mounting blocks for Rs2000

    Only place I can find that supply these are GS Escorts at £58 delivered....anyone else supply them? These are offset so you can use the rs gearbox mount and holes in floor... Thanks

    Have you got original 4 speed blocks? if so all we used to do was space the gearbox x/member back using the original 4 speed blocks and some flat steel

    Got the original blocks but not sure the garage will be wanting to play around to get them to fit....

    Trying to visualise ..do you bolt the gear box xmember to the flat steel then the original blocks with the other end of the flat steel to the floor mounting holes???

    original blocks bolted to floor as normal, x member bolted to gearbox as normal, and use flat steel to join them up
