Viento engine mount mod
I'd noticed that the exhaust manifold was lower where it exits through the side panel, compared to where it was originally. I thought the engine
mount rubbers had compressed, however on closer inspection the engine mounts had bent by the block bolt-holes. I've straightened the mounts and
added a cross-member that runs under the engine supporting the mounts.

The front wheels are part way down the slope out of the doorway so sump looks lower than it actually is.
