Can do it in a day with the engine in, although it's a bit of an ass.

Been working out how to fit a 3 bolt mount off a astra, its doable so am going to reposistion the header tank to the N/s and make a up and over mount like Gunnys.
The TD will not be going down the strip am afraid guys. I am upset but **** happens and at least I can make it nice and strong now!

Engine ones, there is only two on a td and they commonly break !

It broke going down a fen road at a steady speed, but the 30psi and second gear wheel spin aint goin to help. The 3 bolt mount will be boss though when she is done!

Way I planned to fix mine was to sikaflex the gearbox and rear mounts, and leave the drivers side standard, so more of the strain is in the other 2, stronger mounts.

yeah well mine are new mounts and they were tigersealed, its broke twice now so I am going to do it properly. the astra mount looks like it will fir very well though and I will use a similar idea to gunny's mount then use a petrol header tank I think!
I want to beable to trust it at the end of the day :)

All tigersealed? making the drivers side mount less resistant to twisting will remove masses of strain on it.

yes all tiger sealed and it still broke, I then thought it might make it worse so I replace the mounts with new ones!

Tiger seal 2, leave the drivers and see if it snaps then, my betting is it will be fine and will save chopping up and repainting your chassis leg.
