The original plan was to make packer plates between the mounts and adapter plates, to move the engine mounts closer to the pedestals.
That idea was ditched as I wasn't confident the holes would line-up across the car.
Plan B: fabricate new pedestals!
I drafted a few designs before JtC tweaked my penultimate design for this - final - concept...
Back to AutoCAD to tweak the design. It wasn't long before some 1:1 templates were printed and cut out of card...
Plate was cut and the final design mocked-up in steel...
New vs. old. Tacked ready for seam welding...
