I dont have a picture of this one but on the trans side the mounting holes are in a nice circular pattern...

Re: Another VR4 Conversion Starter/Flywheel Issue

All sorted I only had to open up the diameter of the bolts holes in the bellhousing a few mm and take a few mm off the diameter of the sandwich plate between the bell housing and engine.

Now time to get it back on the track and break the gearbox

Re: weld on coilover sleeves

Hi guys I went with the sleeve kits that Otomoto sell and they fitted fine over the sigma struts the keepr/helper spring is also handy on low cars that you keep jacking up, their adjustable camber kits can also be cut down and drilled to fit into a lancer. http://www.otomoto.com.au/c/4037307/1/sleev...

My understanding is that the commodore insert is about the same height as a sigma one and the camira one is around 50mm (2") shorter. If your going for a lower stance then camira inserts in cutdown struts are the way to go.
