And yesterday my and a mate went to fit the engine alone with a f28 to weld the 6 speed mount into place. Thats what we thought, we bolted the drivers side mount on first all seems good. Then to the rear mount which took us about 2 hours to get it in line with the hole to put the bolt through. we done that and all still seemed ok untill we tryed the 6 speed mount and went down hill from there. And the 6 speed mount was bought from C Ashley so we know that will be fine and the gap was about 1 - 1 1/2 inches to short for the mount to fit :eek: and chris drilled the holes abit to close together for the bolts to line up with the rubber mount so off it came anyway to make one of the holes big enough so i can get both bolts in the hole. So then we taken the drivers mount off and put just the 6 speed mount on and pushed the engine over to the left and could not get the drivers mount on at all. So we thought wtf is wrong and then looked at some projects treads and other mounts for sale. then it hit us they sent the corsa mount :mad: And that left me with hours of work for nothing :cry: Well here are a few pics to show you anyway.
When i first put the engine in on just the drivers mount
