Nice, looks good. Are those machined blanks for the oil filler and breather holes?

Update time.
Started at 10 this morning and finished about an hour ago.
Finished off the fr gearbox mount which has tidyed the bay up a bit.
Using 3mm steel plate cut a recess into the leg. Boxed it out from the inside and put some brackets in for good measure.

made a plate to hold the rubber and fitted with two nuts welded to it.

Made a nice plate to fit over the top and make it more conspicious.

Seam sealed.

Then had a crack at fitting the engine. We messed about trying to locate bits as I have a habbbit of putting things away and losing them. Got the engine and box together. and lifted in.
At 10:30 this evening this was the finished article.
