Hello Carl,

Sorry but didn't log on last night, cozy night with chocolate and Zombieland (great fun film for anyone).

The Sierrra mount rubbers are crap Carl as rubber perishes with age and a few people have had to replace snapped ones. At £80 a shot its worth using land rover mounts and remaking both engine mounts. You can still use the box to sit them on but if you chock up our engine and make the mounts to suit out of 5mm plate welded into a box, will need to cut a section out of the bottom for the bolt, and a flange top and bottom. They will work out quite neat and pretty easy to do and will easily miss your steering column.

The pics are a bit cramped but do show it to some extent.

It's worth making both sides at the same time.

Regards...AndyH
