If you cant tell what mounts to use i suspect you may find the wiring interesting!

no i was told that the 12v,had a different osf mount due to the width of the motor, was just wondering, i wasn't a question regarding the install in anyway, this'll be my 4th xe conversion since christmas, 2 gsi's, 1x 1.2 16v with eps, and now the 12v. haven't got many pics on my hard drive atm, but here's a pic of my current completed one (the day i fitted the hoses) the motor has now been fully mirror polished, loads of custom stainless bits, oversized slut brace top and bottom (front), one off header tank etc etc....
