Hoping to pick the collective brains! I'm part way through an xtreme build and have come to the issue of the engine being too high for the bonnet to fit. I would like to avoid a cut out, as this will hopefully only be a short term engine for the initial registration and so I have been on the look out for some thiner rubbers to lower the unit by a couple of inches (the standard Pinto mounts are about 3.5 inches thick). I found some generic mounts which were only about 1.5 inches thick but they dont come with a long enough thread to go through the Pintos aliminium arms (they are ok on the bottom). I have heard rumours that there are some BMW mounts that will do the job, but every motor factors or BMW parts department I ask can't tell from my wordy descripton and ask for either a part number, engine number, or at least model of BMW.
Does anyone know of suitable mounts (i.e. about 1.5 - 2.5 inches thick with at least 1.5 inch of M8 thread on 1 side) or has found another way around this issue.
