True lol. Would save me trying to compress the bushes or whatever needs compressing to put it back together.
I ordered the shiny me black one. Should be here tomorrow, just need to find out where to put the axle stands so I don't brake the car.
There was a thread about this recently.
I usually put the jack under the big subframe bolt and the axle stands, padded with corrugated cardboard, on the box-section rails.

id rather pay that than have to drive it to a garage and leave it to them and risk doing £££'s of damage on the way, luckily i managed to get a lift to and from work today so if the weather holds out ill try and get it sorted tomorrow.
Good: Borrowed a trolly jack from the gf's uncle, and shiny new part arrived
Bad: big bolt left in the middle hole
Good: the other hole was bolt free
Bad: spent the best part of 2 hours and lots of swearing getting this little ******* out
Once upon a time it looked like this
Old vs new
All fitted
But my engine still looks on the piss a bit
And i spotted this, it looks like there is some serious rubbing going on
Now all that's left is to shower the ants, spiders an whatever else decided to crawl on me off and take it for a test drive

Nicely done fella 
IIRC they all look on the piss so don't worry too much lol - if the new dogbone mount lined up as expected then it'll be straight.
That rubbing on the driveshaft was probably done when the mount was loose, the engine would be rotating which also pulls the driveshafts towards the front of the car and rubbed on the arb.

Really surprised to see threads still ok, you got off lightly
I think you'll like the difference

The thread is ok but the bit that snapped off is mangled where I had to drill about half a cm then wack a screwdriver in it to twist it out, this was more effort than it should have been, as the cordless drill went flat and the plug in drill was only tightened by hand as the chuck key is missing.
Anyway
OMG u can feel the difference. The whole car feels solid when you put the power on and you can feel it put so much more power down through the wheels, I even did a quick pull away from the lights and got some wheel spin instead of kangaroos, it used to suffer from terrible wheel hop any time I pulled away fast.
The bushes should be one of the first things on anyone's mod list.

yup mines on the piss too, tilting your head -10 degrees helps but makes the rest of the car lean to the right, its a lose lose situation!
