It's raining pitchforks and hammerhandles just now.  I'll atempt to get out there today.

The buyer of my 1700 did not put the engine in a Birkin.  That engine/5-speed is bound for a Lotus 7.  Whether the mounts I supplied with the engine/5-speed will fit the Lotus without a lot of work has yet to be known to me.  I am absolutely certain they will not fit a Birkin.  Birkin uses one horizontal bolt at the chassis, which seems a bit unusual to me.

Thanks, I see that now. Chasing down the proper mounts has been like the quest for the holy grail. The originals from my Birkin were sent with the buyer of the Kent engine, even though that engine wasn't going into a Birkin. Tom Carlin doesn't have the drawings for the Kent motor mounts so he can't make them.
