Are they stainless bolt's on the diff mount?
I did'nt think you should use stainless on suspension/engine mount's as it's too hard and may Shear ? (maybe some one will correct me on this?)

the rear is proper bufty front could do with things redoing as i keep having mod things to fit lol ,having a push while i have some coin about ,orderd some fuel line last nite ,but will have see how much turbo cost to rebuild before i spend anymore on it
Andy the problem with the bobbins you've bought is that the end plates with the 8mm threads are bonded on and if they fail
you'll end up with your radiator or intercooler on the road :-(
The original ones have the bolt pass through the middle of the rubber so it cannot fail.
your bits look great
