That looks great.

Are the engine mounts fitted the right way with both rubbers facing down, as on mine one rubber faces down and the other faces up unless mine are wrong?

costina

iTrader: (1)

On 2wd cars the rubber mounts have a peg which locates on the alloy arm.

And those are the correct way round.

Jules44

They are all located in the pegs

1374lee
