G'day Dave,

The standard cradle refers to the curved gearbox support that comes down from the chassis rails and under the gearbox (which the gearbox 'forks/legs' sit on). This has been cut out of yours.

The nose cone mount relates to the front gearbox mount which is normally situated in the middle of the torsion tube - this is what the front of the gearbox (ie. nose cone) mounts to via a rubber mount.

You could use the Creative Engineering legs but would need a donor 'cradle' section from a splitty that is being scrapped.

Cheers
AL
