Engine mount strong enough?
As per title. Made of 4mm steel plates (yes I know this will do) and hollow section 35 x 35 x 2 mm.
For the funny guys: no, it has not been finally welded yet!

Looks pretty similar to the MK ones, so I'd say they'll be up to the job.

I grinded the hollow section with sandpaper flap disc before it was tag welded. This will save me a lot of time preparing for a layer of paint.

looks fine. I make mine like that but use round tube about 40mm in diameter and first weld a captive nut to the base, then weld the tube round that.
Doing this save having a cut out like you have and the rubber mount is just spun on and tightened by hand before bolting the whole thing to the
chassis and engine.
