These pics show some of the frame detail. Jamie welded in a curved tube section for the front engine mount brackets. The top engine mount is shown just prior to drilling the crosstube for the 8mm bolt. As it turned out, the cylinder head is removable if all the headstuds are extracted first. The lower mounting is 8mm high tensile threaded rod. One end screws into a threaded frame insert while the other has a flange nut welded directly to the rod and goes through an unthreaded frame insert on the RHS. The rear engine plates were remade before the first run.
