just as well you posted this jps!

to clarify, looking back at serieslandys build thread. Am i right in thinking its only the driver side mount that has to b re-made to look something like the "alternative mounts"

Also does this have further knock on effects for the rest of the build? modifying the steering etc?

Thank Will
Yes, its only the drivers side mount which causes a problem and an alternative to modifying the mount is to re route the steering column. I think it makes more sense to change the mount though as its more straight forward and doesn't add something else to potentially go wrong in the steering.

You could keep the book spec off side mount, and just redesign the drivers side one, but I'm going to make my own for both sides so i can use the same rubber mounts on both sides. Otherwise i think there may be an imbalance in the way the engine is 'sprung' (for want of a better word)...
