I used the mounting kit from CAS. Very expensive but fitted okay although getting the threaded plates into the mounting cups was a bit of a fiddle. I can see how, with a bit of ingenuity, something could be made up a lot cheaper.
The instructions are a little simplistic and I am going to put a thread under tech torque showing how I did it and giving some views on how the car now drives.

I bit the bullet and bought a set as well.

It took 20 minutes to work out how to use the bottom plates with the wire in and on my BL it took me 2 hours to fit them, not the 1 hour quoted in Floating Power Vol 32 Issue 6

Left side was the worst due to the very limited access due to the clutch cable, petrol pump and distributor ( had to apologise to my neighbour for verbally venting my frustration 😆 )

However a test drive showed that the job was worthwhile as noise and vibration have reduced and what was thought to be a clutch issue noise has disappeared meaning the gearbox doesn’t need to come out.

I can see how on a big bodied car though how the job would be much simpler and faster.
