301 redirect for forum move - HELP

I just finished moving a vbulleting forum to phpfox forum,
The problem I am facing is that a simple 301 redirect will cost me a lot of google traffic,

How can I make a .htaccess redirect that will redirect the old forum threads etc to the new location?

The issue I face is that the new home has a different (totally) URL structure than the old forums,

old

url.co.uk/threads/a-guide-to-mooting-part-1.27567/

new

url.org/lawlink/forum/thread/34873/a-guide-to-mooting-part-1/

but than an other will be

old

url.co.uk/threads/copyright-infringement.27707/

new

url.org/lawlink/forum/thread/34993/copyright-infringement/

And on and on,

Anyone who can offer some help to properly redirect....Smilie

I hope you are not asking for Regex just the 301 htaccess redirect
Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This is exactly the code we used to change our forum location. Worked like a charm.
