    Wise move imo, vec's have the same torque rod and the body mount has 2 bolts in that plane. The rubbers on those mounts also like to fall apart for fun, fill the holes up with bits of old engine mount rubbers and sikaflex to make it last longer.

    Not really been up to much, managed to get some wheels though, they should clear the vectra v6 brakes so I'm happy, and I'm hopefully going to sort out my rear brakes next week when I get some cast-steel weling rods.
