Hay mate i just read your thread i was just wondering how does your motor sit in the car with those engine mounts and how far did you have to move the mounts on the crossmember to get it to sit nicely ?

Where did you get the new leaf springs from?

We had to cut down the crossmember brackets and lay them back, so that the engine would sit low enough. very happy with where it is sitting now though.

The leaf springs aren't new, they are the original springs, with an added leaf and reset at a lower height. I got them made up at industrial springs on port rd, and they gave them a coat of paint. very happy with how they turned out :yes:
