Caterham did this for years, I would research this and copy what they did
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I used to... sold it a couple of months ago. Mine was a Stuart Taylor with standard 1.4 K series - not a huge amount of power, but good enough with a
light engine and a light car, and still reasonable mpg and road tax!

Unless thre is something badly wrong with the engine then it should be OK as long as you keep the pre-cat and a catted silencer for IVA? I did SVA
and, since there was no mention of emissions on the V5C I took both off a while afterwards.

If you checkout the 'k upgrade' folder in my photo archive you'll find a few shots of how I did my engine mounts. Mobile phone pics
so not brilliant but good enough to get the idea....

Do you have copies of the engine mount drawings by chance, they would do me a big favour.
