David, Sorry, you're quite right, I started from the viewpoint of a 410, the 408s didn't have the front mounting, which were added, one presumes for good reason, on the 409s and then carried across to the 410s, and then, I understand, changed to a mounting via a frame on the gearbox on the 411s. Also, from my experience, for good reason.

For what it's worth I attach a not very good photo of the "A" frame mounting off the gearbox that has now been adopted on my 410.

My car also now has swept tubular exhaust manifolds courtesy of Spencer Lane-Jones. They are fantastic pieces of knitting which have considerably improved the cars breathing and appear to have reduced the under bonnet temperature, not, I imagine, that the latter is too much of a problem in Novia Scotia. They leave no space at all at the sides of the engine bay!
