I used M8 bolts.
Is your mounting plate big enough to drill another hole in the right place?
Do you want me to put up a closer pic?
By the way, good luck with your wiring - I got as far as trying to turn over the starter motor yesterday without success reckon its to do with the immobiliser.

OK, thanks Tim for the explanation. I'll have to speak to Mark as it looks like my mount might be wrong? The fourth hole is about half a bolt diameter out but it makes me wonder about the position of the other holes?

Not made a lot of progress on my wiring. The plan was to turn the engine over on the engine stand but there isn't enough space for the flywheel between the engine and the engine stand mounting plate. Hoping to have another go next weekend.

good luck fixing yours!

Peter
