Just put a new gear box mount on, but how much thread should be seen once the nut is on tight as this positions the gear box height.

the spacer tube underneath the mounting bush on the stud sets the height, you just tighten the nut to the torque setting.

That's a 205 mount not a 306 one. It's fundamentally the same apart from coming up higher but the hollow part on the underside is a different shape and might not fit the 306 mount sleeve correctly.

cheers lads, iv taken it for a good drive a it feels smooth and steady so i think its ok, the mount i took out was identical to the one i put in, so the previous owner must of settled for a 205 mount, even the label had stamped 2.0 306 on it. Anyway its fine.
