Just re-read that. Cut from the clutch bracket not the engone mount. Was just letting you know ot fouls really. I'm sure you can make you own mind up what to cut and not cut.

When i did mine from 1.0 to 1.6 the best advice i got was from scottie, try and get the centre of the oil filter to be level with the top of the chassis when making up your engine mounts. Thats where mine is and it sits nice.

Fairly quite at work tomorow so i might take a couple of pics to show you what mine looks like if that helps
