Well as most of you know my O/S mount bolts broke again the Thursday before PV, I was gutted but such is life! Any way my legend of a Mate (Rob) towed me the 200 mile round trip in his MG so my clean yet broken Nova could make the PNG stand :)
Here are a couple of snaps.

Was a 'Okay' weekend, got back on the Sunday and decided how I was going to make my mount STRONG!
So off to work on Monday and I go in the stores and find a Land Rover metastatic bush. Perfect I think. Got home and started WORK!
Removed some ****e..

Old Mount,

And where the new bush will now live

It will be a Solid mount but a diesel version :)
Any way started to remove the belt and timing cover in order to remove broken bolts and fit the 1.7 back plate, tensioner and mount.

If you make that mount solid and the rest standard rubber it will put more strain on the bolts.
Roughly showing where the mount will be.

Didn't touch her Tuesday but I removed the broken bolts on Wednesday, struggled to remove them as they were locktighted so I welded some nut on the end (WIN)
