I'm using the original 260 box (or spazbox as people say) have fitted it and notice it sits slightly further forward than it did with the m20 in just need thoughts and pickis if possible on the mods people have done to the linkage, I've used this box as it was totally overhauled 4 months ago and quiet as a mouse cheers

You should be able to use the original linkage, you just need to modify it to account for the angle change with the m50. Are you sure it's on the right mounts and mounting points on the engine?

I'm pretty sure it's out of a convertable so it's the m52 with the engine mount arms from the doner got two of the cylindrical m5 mounts too but it just looks like the box is slightly further forward I can adapt the linkage to suit the angle change no prob but dident think it would be short
