Hi there!!

As far as we know, you cannot get a WCXM that will take standard mounts, they must be of the WCXM type!

Hope this helps!

The idea behind the WCXM is to stengthen it when on rough rallies... are you doing any rough rallies, Smithys 170mph Mk1 is on a standard x-member.

NB rough rally= dropping the car form over 12 foot high when yumping over Argentinian Mountain roads

KC,
Yukspeed 'ere, why on earth would you want to fit std. mnts, the idea of the w/c set up was that the engine could not fall out. If fitting cos injin use w/c x/m and pinto eng. btkts. If you get caffufled ring me, I hate e-mail.
Regards Yuk.
