I've spoken to Danthe he Said the e30 linkage works just not sure what I've done wrong . Gunna move the rack forward on the subframe and see if that give the room to fit it in

These mounts any good for the 4 pots Dan? I've got M42 mounts, but they've seen better days.

Yes I cant see why not, they are very stiff when new but people do report of them softening up on the exhaust side, probably due to the heat more than anything
