    Sadly no way to accurately measure the jig location, which places the engine in the correct 3D space..... there are 3 axis to consider...

    1. Up/down
    2. Forward/back
    3. Left/right

    Plus rotation of the whole thing, it took me over 3 days of positioning and fine tuning to get the engine right in the sweet spot, by far the most important axis is left/right, get that wrong and you will have driveshaft issues, but as long as you take your time and get it positioned correctly it will be fine. All our mounts are seam welded.

    That said Paul's mount is a work of art. It takes all the needless pain out of mounting the V6. I had one that wasn't made by Paul, it looked good, went in well but was off by a tiny amount meaning the gearbox mount didn't line up. Save yourself the trouble and use his. It is tried and tested. I bought Pauls in the end.
