Default Escort gerbox mounts

Can anyone tell me if this is the right gearbox mount....



The metal bit.


Basically, with these mounts the the whole engine/box is too far over towards the drivers side and I can't figure out what the fuck is wrong.

The thing that makes me think it's the mounts is that bolt hole in the top of the mount that I don't think is used for anything.

Come on, someone must know if this is the right mount. the metal bit. someone must be able to go and have a quick look and see if this is right.

Mine doesnt look quite like that no!
The reverse light switch plug is not normally visable, nor is the mount bolt!

im not sure if the bracket is right but the right one should also have a horizontal brace from two of the starter bolts onto the unused bolt hole you have on yours

Karlos any chance of a pic so i can see the difference between the two.

Botters, cheers. I've been told this brace might be missing.

What is doing my head in is that with my gearbox mounted like my picture means that the top engine mount is about 10mm out. Almost like the engine/box are too far over towards the drivers side.

Original mount from xr3i but bolted to IB5 which is pretty much identical.

I'll post pic later this afternoon.
