James hasn't been around for several years unfortunately - but if he said those are the right bits, then the odds are infinitesimally small that they're not!
You can still wander round the the two I know of. I think they just prefer an easy life and just crush what the punters don't pick off. Turnaround time is only about two weeks now, so you have to be lucky to find the car you need.
The other thought I had, bit like yours, was did he modify it to take a newer engine?
Quite possibly true on the mounts, mine's petrol.
Busy tomorrow, but if nobody else steps in and solves it I'll get some pictures of mine on Friday - as it is now - and you can compare with what you have.
(I...
Some pictures of mine coming apart in case it triggers a thought. One thing I notice is that you have square mounts. Could one be the wrong height? Don't suppose they've got part numbers on that you can check?
Incomplete, but may help? Annoyingly the pictures I put up in my similar thread...
I'm baffled then, because your symptoms are what mine were.
Just to be completely clear though, you've got three things between the engine and chassis on that corner - engine bracket, bush and the bracket above?
My Richards' SIII Lightweight was a bit off, both back mounts about 5mm too far...
I'm not sure if it's the same as an SIII, but if it is, have you got this bracket in there. It's an extra, shown as I found it after I'd made the same mistake.
Belongs on the front driver's side.
If you're using OEM bushes that'll work. I had the luxury of doing mine with the body off and strapped it. If you're using polybushes there's no point, they'll just spin.
First hand experience unfortunately. This was a closing speed of maybe 25 or 30mph. The indentation is the shape of a Mercedes A class. The A class was an obvious write-off. So was the series. The front axle was slightly bent, the right dumb iron took the brunt and kinked severely above the...
Since you bring it up, I wouldn't either. They were a lot less than helpful when the stainless system i bought for a 200tdi SIII wasn't remotely close to fitting. I ended up cutting that and putting a flexible joint in. Supposedly the experts in custom LR exhausts too.
I don't know either, but your plan sounds sensible. Did you lubricate it when you put it back together? I'd imagine that dry/oil/grease would give different results.
