Posted this up on SELOC but figured I'd stick it up here to try and widen the audience. S2 Exige in case anybody is wondering.

I was under the car today doing a few pre Le Mans checks and noticed that the front engine mount wasn't actually bolted to the engine.

On top of that, I took off the rear engine mount to check it and, most likely due the the extra work it's been doing, it's got a crack across the rubber so will need replaced.

So, whats the chances of Lotus being:
a) opened tomorrow
b) actually having the parts I need

Alternatively, does anybody know the spec of the two bolts to the engine (#23 below) and can you get the rubber seperately or do you have to buy the whole mount (#8 below) at £120 or so.
