I have had great success with the Irwin hammer on bolt extractors in the past . Would be my first option before welding below fuel tank !!

Re: What did you do to your 924/944/968 today?

If the bolts are corroded into the aluminium mount , I find it easier to support box and drop it attached to the gearbox support , one bolt either side .
You can then sort it out on the ground with a punch , aqua blasting and copper slip before install .

Re: 944 S2 Repair

Originally I was looking for a rover v8 for my mates land rover which is how I stumbled over this .

Engine mounts , bellhousing need to be changed and maybe pedal box but relatively straight forward .
Would be nice to ...

Re: 944 S2 Repair

Paul I see your questions about rear brace on PCGB .
It does not attach to the body but cantilevers the exhaust from the gearbox . I needed this as the rear floor has been cut away in the 924 .
You could modify one as it already has gearbox attachment which I thought about to brace gearbox . But I ...
