So i assume the drivers mount i have was designed to be fitted like i did, and make use of the holes....

I had a look at mine the other day and there's is a hole that goes right through but the plate kit covers it up. Easy enough to drill through tho.

Yep, thats the hole i made use of :)

very good progress Ian, looks right at home in the bay :D

now its a race for you to get finished before James lol

you are slightly ahead of him mind, considering his isn't painted, nor has the engine in, and he still needs to take it apart again lol

Few pics of the how the mounts are sitting after faffing with them to get the engine sitting right with no tension on any mounts...

Front Engine mount had to be spaced between mount and bracket

Not ideal I know, Need to get a spacer made up really, but they'll do for now!

LOL at Simps!! me too man lol

Cheers lads

You have more clearance than i do on the gearbox bolt/mount.
Comming along well well dude, love the hydo handbrake. Everything looks good in the bay.

Is there a particular reason as to why it needs spacing out?

Also, how come the rear mount needs elongating? noticed Stubbs has also done this? I've never need to do this, yes its tight, but surely you want it to be held tight in place?
