Front mount on the middle hole sits too high:
Front mount on the top hole sits too low:
Modified bracket:

Rear gearbox mount[edit]
Rear mount slotted
Strengthened
Fitted
Front gearbox mount[edit]
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.
