There are two bolts attaching the mount to the support on the chassis. The chassis steel is cut at an angle to fit parallel to the angle of the mount.
My question - is the steel meant to make contact along the length of the underside of the mount, i.e. the steel supporting the mount or is the support totally taken be the two bolts. Hope someone understands the question

Yes in fact I have loosened the bolts, jacked the engine up, and tightened again to give a little bit of clearance for the PAS pulley.

The support is actually the friction between the chassis plate and mount plate, clamped hard together by the bolts,
