The only trouble is with the Starlet engine is that you don't have much option to run a strut under the engine. You can on the gearbox side but on the engine side the sump sits so low that you are in danger of going through the magic 100mm. Or you would have to run such thin tubing that it would defeat the purpose. I ran a strut from the bulkhead to the right hand mount on the advice of my engineer. And also replated the engine bay on the right to add strength. But the left especially if you install the alternator back to front leaves you very few choices. I have had mine on the road for about 4 months and it hasn't flexed a bit.

Cheers

Matt
