I just bought a full mount from ford and welded it onto the inner wing, that way I can use the standard gearbox mount. It’s in my build thread if you want to look. The rear mount again is a bracket that holds the standard ford rubber mount from the original box.

It’s just the standard cvh one just modified. Just cut off and reweld one of the screw lug/fixings into the correct position to suit the zetec. Mine is at the powder coaters otherwise I would get a picture
