Default Custom engine mounts. How?

How do people do it?

Get the mounts that fit the engine and cut and weld them onto mounts that fit the car, and hey presto, a mount that fits the car and engine?

depends in some cases its easier to get the mount that fits car and fab brackets to block but then other times I completely fab engine and car mounts to get the position I need depending on the use of the car.

Cotton real style flexible mounts like on the cossie are a good simple option for any after market fitment, you just need a bracket coming out of the engine and a bracket coming out of the car a couple of inches below it, drill a hole in each and you have a mount, so its just a case of knocking up the brackets to fit each half, which you can either base on the existing ones or do out of 4mm plate or whatever.

Its very application dependant though of course and ive seen it done lots of different ways.
