Spot on Brad, glad you got that mount reinforced as I'd be pretty worried chopping that much metal off it with that much torque! I know its a rear, and not under the same amount of stress, but still I'd be forever thinking about it.  :grin:

My thoughts totally mate, they are a box section for a reason and I would just not feel happy with leaving it. I guess many people would but not me. Not worth the risk at all.

Fook me, do you ever stop upgrading this motor!  :grin:  Must say it's looking great.

Good link from Dom, that setup does look very OEM and would suit your car very well.
