Moved house, so haven't been up the workshop for a while, but made some progress today.
I got the offside engine mount in

And the engine is in its final position with inlet on and everything else checked for clearance.

Although alternator clearance and oil filter takeoff is going to be very tricky.


Nearside mount is ready to be welded together again, then will need to redrill the hole for the mount in its new position.

The driveshaft is touching the frame, but there is very little room to play with as the tie bar only just clears the gear box when hub is in its upmost position. If I cant tweak the engine position to to clear everything I'll make the drive shaft hole in the frame bigger.
