WooHoo - finally lifted the G10a & 5speed out of "Caution - Wide Load" today.
I have taken pics of the mounts & corresponding mounting points that have been added to the sub-frame but I don't yet have them in my gallery (sorry Billie). Tried cutting the mounting plates off but cant be done without destroying the sub-frame or plates so I am building new mounting points & doing it properly (6-8mm plate used by previous owner not my cuppa...) using 3mm RHS & 3mm plate (pics to be posted as I go).
Unfortunately I have to separate the gearbox - 1st won't select, I am hoping to find a manual to help find the problem. Alternative is another box ($350ish for a GTi box via SuziSport)

Owwww, I too can't wait for pics!

Good luck with sorting the gearbox.

Sweet.

Tingalpa have a few g10a's. Got quoted 100 for gearbox.

That is a good price! Billie, I'll be in touch if I cant sort this one. Only reason I was looking at the Gti box is they have a stronger differential.

I have just picked up a G10A Swift and will be starting this conversion on my MB in the next couple of weeks. Very keen to see any photos that you might have.

I am interested to see how the turbo & intercooler go - I have been looking at putting an AMR500 on mine but not too certain I have room for it as there is an engine mount in the way.
I priced a front engine/gearbox steady today (existing one is R.S.) $90.00 ex Melb. (A5035 Mackay) This conversion has left & right lower mounts, a front right mount & upper & lower engine steadies, that's 5 points.
F5a & F8b use 4.

just get a ram scoop and chuck the supercharger ontop

It will look just like the MB down Beachmere way very neat, red, bonnet scoop & a big hairy bloke behind the wheel... ummm mine isn't that tidy yet & I am nowhere as big or hairy

Just keep eating the crust and you will be

Been eating crust all my life yet still I'm balding

Beats having hair like mine, just keeps growing.

Funny stuff guys.

That doesn't sound like too bad of a price for the engine mount. I need to replace mine soon in the boy, the newly rebuilt engine has shagged the last bit of life out of the poor old mounts.

If i didn't already have so many bits for the efi & turbo upgrade on the F8b i would have done a G10a conversion too. I wonder how well the RHB32 & charade carby would go on a G10a?

Both the CB60 & G10a are 993cc & share same stud spacing on base of carbie.
My G10 is running what appears to be a Hitachi DCH 306 (Nissan/Subaru) & the head has had a port & polish at minimum. I am told it has a mild cam - details unknown.

Some pics are finally up to show mounts & brackets - more as I progress.
