Simon there are no packing pieces or spacers on my car although the engine mounting bolts have been changed for the sake of expedience. The front ones now screw out upwards. At the rear they come up from underneath with a 'D' shaped washer welded to the head to stop them rotating. I did this just to make engine removal/ replacement easier as the bottom rubbers just sit between the chassis rail and the foot they can be slid into place easily. Looking at the front of the car the nosepiece is slightly below centre relative to the rad surround hole but not noticeably so. A thick washer under the foot rubber would probably solve that, but there is very little clearance between the nosepiece and the underside of the rad so I decided to leave it as is. The main issue as previously stated is getting the flywheel to pass under the bulkhead. Some surgery is necessary.
