zetec engine mounting brackets

Can anyone help. I,m building an MK Indy and am using a mark 1 - 2 litre zetec. I am currently setting up to get the engine mounting brackets sized and manufactured. [I aim to use the donor car (1.8 Sierra) rubber mountings]. I have two questions has anybody got designs or pics they can post on the site that I can use to make mine (before I go to same trouble) and how did they deal with the dipstick issue if bracket cuts across it. Hope this all makes sense.

Your brackets will depend on the chassis dimensions, desired engine height and where you decide to attach the mounts to the passenger side of the engine (2 possible positions)

is a good place to start

I have a spare set of Zetec engine mounts for a silver top 2 litre (pre 95) with rubbers and nuts/washers.
