Would have thought that's the sort of clearance you should be aiming for.

Ive used those mounts on an M50 engine and ive got about 1/4"

Was well chuffed

It wouldn't be the same if it all was plain sailing lol - even the simpalist of jobs can turn out to be a nightmare at times lol.

Even getting to a show can be a pain in the arse

Only thing i found is the further away from the bulkhead the engine is, the less space you have to fit the rad and bend the pipes round onto it at the front.

LOL, you can look back on it and laugh now - funny cause 2 years ago (Gaydon) when there was a group of us fixing Ryan's engine mount in a petrol station, a cabby exactly the same colour of your Dad's done the same thing - blame it on the colour of the pump handle, fecking BP twats!

I know what you mean - the closer to the bulk head the better - this is why a hammer comes in handy to 'adjust' the transmission tunnel to allow for the bell housing to sit further in.

Down side is increased cabin noise - every pro has a con / every action has a reaction unfortunately. . . . . . . . . . . Wow - i'm well impressing my self with these technical terms!! lol.
