Default Engine Mounts for Pond aluminium FE.
Hi guys

Firstly thank you everyone who has responded to my previous post about a clutch/T/O bearing. Quite an effort I know with the slow upload speed we are have at present. Anyhow, I'm in the UK about to install the above into my MK IV. FE info is thin on the ground here, so am really grateful for the info forthcoming on this forum.

Anyhow. I cannot seem to find any engine mounts for the FE side oiler like the Robert Pond based unit I have. There are four tapped holes in each side of the block.

All I can find is later FE 3 hole and early 2 hole, but not side oiler specific mounts. I'm concerned about the metalastic mounts anyhow as they, as far as I can see, are not tethered. In any case, as its aluminium, I'd like to use all four bolt holes each side and will be fabricating the chassis mounts anyhow.

Would be grateful to know what anybody else did with this block, as I considering making my own and would like to avoid that
