All this was in aid of trying to help me drill the centre more accurately on the round bar stock for the centre upright of the upper GB mount. Did the job, but the centre still wasn't perfect. I'll blame the operator for now.





Slow weekend on the car front. I am in the process of not only fabricating the upper mount, but also 4 exhaust stands and an adapter to fit the Finger Brake into my 12 ton press so I can bend 4mm sheet steel into brackets for the lower engine mount....
