   Hi all,
   
   I have just changed my knackered engine and gearbox mounts for some Baker ones and now my bonnet is touching my JP4 covers and won't close properly.
   
   Has anyone else had this problem or am I just lucky?
   
   Cheers

   It will fit both ways but one way will have it sitting too high and the correct way will sit correct.
   I had same problem when I fitted my new engine with spoox mounts.
