Title: 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder engine mounts

Are they in the same poistion in the engine bay or are they in different locations?  Thanks if anyone knows!

don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure our M42 4 cylinders sit a little closer to the firewall but I'm just basing that off visual comparison.

the holes in the subframe for the engine mounts are in the same place for both 4 and 6cylinders:cool:

I also thought the mounting points on the subframe were the same. The mounts are different as the M42 ones have offset mounting points, whereas the 6's are inline.
