That's awesome. I couldn't see any engine movement or rocking. Do you have any extra supports or anything?

Thanks guys! I'm well happy with it!

The engine is on standard SD1 engine mounts / rubber which are really good. Then the engine bay has been strengthened / braced etc...to take the load / torque of the engine!

I was suprised how little the engine moved as well.

Thats looking really good. I live just down the road in Eastwood, so any chance of coming across one day for a look? Obviously happy for you to come and see my progress with the Viento build any time as well.
