kinda funny looking, as in angle seems... unhelpful.

Maybe I'm just paranoid... Any suggestions?

That mount looks like its got some fair weight on it, what engine is on top of it?

Whatever engine it is, it doesn't look particularly happy.

I'd love to say it was supercharged v12 with extra lead just for the hell of it. Unfortunately a stock 2.5 m20 ...

Looks to me like the mount has been fitted in the wrong hole on the crossmember.

There's two holes (inner & outer). The mount stud should go through the inner hole and a small locating pin should go in the outer hole. I would say someone has managed to fit the stud in the outer hole and the locating pin in the inner hole.

The fact that the rubber of the mount is up against the chassis rail also suggests it's in the wrong hole as there should be a gap between the two.

just checked and spot on - cheers dude.

best bit is I know who changed them...

yeah, both the same. But not any more:

not quite right yet but makes a difference having them the right way round!

Ian you're a legend - it's what I love about this place.
