You got that alittle wrong there mate, the cover plate sits over way up so it covers the top part of the mount (swivel it round 180deg).

The mount will the go on and then you fit the stabiliser thing but over way roung to how you fitted it (mount it on the over face)

The mount bolts to the gearbox, there will be 2 holes just below the starter motor mounting face which the mount lines up with

didnt think the stabliser bar would slot into the engine mount but suppose it could of had something to do with me trying to fit it the wrong way round:laugh:
