Engine mount brackets prep

The engine mount rubbers need the lugs removing, these look like rubber but actually have steel plates inside (I found out the hard way) so I used the angle ginder to take them back flush with each face:

Checking the rubber mounts against the chassis brackets the threaded rod was just protruding, I decided to cut off 2-3 mm so it could be tightened without hitting the chassis beneath, before & after pictures:

All ready to go:
 

I was intending to bolt these onto the engine, but I have to wait anyway (see clutch bearing issue) & it might be better to bolt on the brackets after the engine is lowered into the chassis.
