Front engine mount[edit]

Using a conversion mount with 3 holes...

Front mount on the middle hole sits too high:

Front mount on the top hole sits too low:

Modified bracket:

And how it sits in the new hole:

I had to hammer the chassis leg slightly and grind the bolt head down to fit. When tightening the bolt up, it seemed to sit funny like the following so I run a washer or two between the mount and the bracket also:

No modifications necessary.

Final fitting[edit]

When doing the final engine fit, leave all bolts loose until they're home then tighten up. My rear mount still needs levering into position despite being slotted.
