I tried to fit The 4th engine mount earlier on this evening but couldn't get enough height on the gearbox before it would have touched the underside of the NS chassis leg.
Now this begs the question - is my engine too far over to the NS of the engine bay?
Should I be able to jack up the gearbox so that it stays inside of the engine bay, clearing the chassis leg?


Also the Haynes manual mentions on engine removal (OS engine mount) to make note of the distance from the outer edge of the movement limiter and the centre of the mounting stud. I didnt do that at the time!


I have just seen in the Haynes manual that they give a measurement between the crankshaft pulley cover and the edge of the body next to the strengthening rod as 29mm, I'll have to check that tomorrow.


Any views on the above gearbox position appreciated as I want to finish this job tomorrow 👍
