Right, as spanishfly has already said. Fitting solid mounts sucks arse. I planned on doing all 3, I managed 1 
Mounts all laid out and setup with bolts in place 
Got the mofo up in the air(hmm, stiffy...) 
Then tried to get the rear mount off, I didn't have enough room, so down it came and I went for the passenger side gearbox mount instead.
The old and new mount side by side 
Mounted onto the F20 gearbox mount 
Ooooh, then guess what; problems. The bolt that the F20 mount bolts onto through the mount fouls the chassis leg; so out came the grinder  
All fitted and finished: 
I gave up then It took me 90mins and I didn't fancy attempting the other 2 without a 4 poster. Took the car for a quick blast to make sure it's OK, and I can already tell that there is less engine movement. Full verdict when the other 2 are fitted

Hiya Dave, on the offside front you fitted, if you had fitted the bolt the other way round you wouldnt have needed to cut the chassis out. | |
