I have one and like it but it is not a 100% direct fit, the diff in the stadium sits 3mm higher than in the buggy so to use the stadium motor mount you have to fit a 3mm spacer under the front diff mount, the stadium chassis is slightly wider, with my old style mount I had to cut a corner off it to clear the mudguard although the newer mounts look like they may just clear, also the holes for the top diff brace are in a different places, you can redrill the existing brace but only 3 screws will fit, I drove it for a while with a m3 locknut (3mm tall)on the sctews between the chassis and front diff mount to raise it up, and with only 3 screws in the diff mount which worked well enough but looked a bit rough so after a while I measured up and designed a spacer and top brace for mike to make for me, I told Mike he could use the design for future buggy users so he should still have it on file if you want the brace and spacer too, feel free to mention my name Paul Upton-Taylor from England to jog his memory if you want the parts


showing the corner cut off to clear the mudguard and the 3mm nuts as spacers under the front diff mount



although it looks like the diff is angled it is just a product of the angle of the photo and it sits straight between the 2 mounts, its just the holes in the top of the mounts that are out of line



the spacer and diff brace Mike made for me


same parts fitted, and not to blow my own trumpet they fitted perfectly.
