Yes,I worked that out once you pointed out that the mount should be central. It was easy to get in and I’ve centred it now. Out of interest I used a spirit level on it and the engine was originally canted up toward the back about 25 degrees and leaning slightly towards the exhaust side. I have a minor problenm in that both the lock nuts on the spring adjusters are seized but I don’t thnk it will take me long to free them off in the morning. Whoever put that mount in obviously didn’t bother to centre it nor did they bother to knock the tabs up on the lock washer so that one of the bolts was only finger tight.

Probably the same muppet who tried to jack the car up under the floor!

I think that I will probably end up replacing the springs. I can see that the biconical is perished where visible so I’m doing it – in fact I can see that i’ll be doing most of the rubber items on the car!

Amazons, yes I’ve had them quite a few years now – would actually have preferred a PV but at the time they were already out of my price range. My ‘favourite’ Amazon is prepared for a little classic rallying – nothing too silly.
