when I put the chummy I just sold together, I asked the same question. Someone had allready.made a bracket for the front mount which was bolted to the chassis, rather than screwed into the gearbox.
Based on the dims i was given I adjusted the bracket so the front hole was where it needed to be, then made what amounts to the stop out of a piece of thin plate bent through 90degrees and sandwiched between the chassis bracket and one of the pawl plates. I just made it to suit so that the handbrake gubbins just missed the prop shaft.
My current chummy seems to just catch, so Im currently driving with the brake on the first tooth. I dare say if I undid the engine mounts and forced it forward id get some clearance. Its getting a new propshaft this winter, so ill sort it then.
