I think I got a cheap mount (well was from ebay) the drivers side top mount caved in when the engine was lowered hence the wonky angle, there are a couple of buffers that sit either side of it so thought it might be just because they wasn't there
So put the buffers back on the right hand mount but still the same - the top part of the bush caves in right down to the bottom where the notches are (for when removing them)
So looks like you get what you pay for, ordered some uprated ones, will bin this once they arrive. I don't mind the extra vibrations through the shell, used to it with the mini as it is running uprated mounts which have a shure rating of something like 75 (originals are around 60), they are harsh but the engine don't move for nothing and with 5mm clearance everywhere you need it steady so I'm guessing with the tight clearances with this swap it'll be the same
In the meantime my rubber mallet snapped
Had it for years, quite sad but as you know things happen for a reason...
Then cue Kam madness
Took off around 30mm, roughly the same the bush mount was caving in...
Fits nice
Engine sits more level now but will wait till new mounts are here, this will do in the meantime to check subframe clearance
Clearance seems fine underneath to steering rack and manifold
So looks like I will use this subframe a template and start cutting up my one then reinforce it
All good
