Hi all,

Being a numpty I thought I would remember what side the engine mount would be related to the chassis plate. Seems like the ole grey matter is losing cells faster than replacing. So fast forward til now, no note, no remember.
So does the engine mount blade, sit in front (towards the front of the car) or behind (towards the back of the car) in relation to the fixed chassis plate.

Thanks in advance

I‘d love to see detailed photos, please.

Currently my engine is sitting on a wooden plank. I have no idea what‘s missing

Here's a view from underneath with the gearbox off. I can always nip down to the garage and take a few more photos if required.

Same as Keith, in front. However I did think it would be better weight distribution if it was behind lol

Cheers and many thanks for the replies and pictures all good, thats how I have it and thought as I remembered it, just had niggling doubts. The prop shaft has a gap even with the slip yoke extended. I will bolt up and see how it goes and if the gap closes without force.

Thanks for the pics guys. It‘s now clear, I‘m just missing the rubber mounts.
