1.0 litre saloon to 1.3. Bolted it all in. However, drivers side of the engine, it sits quite high. Astra mk2 (1990) engine mount has been used. Now can't shut the bonnet with the original air box on it. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to sort it?

Pic of the bracket??
IIRC years ago i put a 1300 belmont engine in my nova and im sure we had to use a nova bracket.

As Andy says you need the nova mount for sure

Yep you need any nova Drivers engine mount, except the 1.0 one.
