HI Guys
Just ordered some bits from Brickwerks.
Some of which are new engine mounts, can any one give me a procedure list and let me know of any pitfalls to watch out for when fitting them.
inner or outer first?
Cheers Jay

Remove engine.
Remove exhaust if it's in the way.
Remove engine support bar.
Remove and replace mounts.
Replace support bar.
Replace exhaust if you removed it.
Refit engine.

Undo the mounts and jack up the engine enough to get new ones in, I cant remember if silencer HAS to come off as i was changing mine at the time so was off anyway.

Will the heat exchangers need to come off ? the engine will only go up about 30mm before they hit the support bar.

when i normally do them i just lower the engine down still connected to gearbox first remembering to remove gearshift from gearbox so you dont bend the rod , then remove the cooling fan with thermostat still conected and rest the coolin fan on top of engine then remove alloy fan shroud and then its easy to replace the mounts
