Hi all :wave:

I have now sheared off 2 engine mounting bolts in the last 2 months:stick: , these being the ones into the gearbox. Have now had it replaced by an extra high tensile one made up especially for the job by a firm that supplies bolts etc. for rally cars, this one apparently being 1 1/2 times stronger than the original.
Anyways, can anyone tell me how many engine mounting points should there be?
In particular, should there be more than the one into the gearbox on the bottom of the car?

If you could all just pop outside now and have a look I would be most grateful :fool:

Cheers all
