Hello All, I could do with some memory assistance if you dont mind, its been a while since i started on the engine mounts replacement, and as the reason for the memory loss is now getting close to 6.0', and would like to help with getting the car back together, I am after doing some checks on my hazy memory.

so my memory is telling me these are the engine mounted brackets, and with the front of the engine on the left. i cant recall where the spacers are used (top right).

and the associated engine mounts for attaching between the mount brackets and the chassis brackets, old and off the bench.
which have nyloc nuts on one and not on the other.
i'm going with nyloc on the chassis end? or is it the other way around?
and whilst looking at the photo I'm mindful of the mount having two sides, i.e. the rasied lip around the "middle" is 3/4 the way up, so are there any preferences as to whether this should be chassis side or engine side?
Thanks
Bil

I get the point about nylocs being difficult given the location and limited access available, a point well made, and one I'm seriously considering.

The spaces I think are just caught up in what must have been a painting frenzy so I'm looking back through old photos of engine bays for inspiration. But like all good flat packs come with the spare bits you dont need, the spacers might be those spares....
