Going together fine until I got to the rear engine mount.
When I dismantled this to make subframe lifting with a jack easier the plate fell out and banged me on the head! When came to putting it back on I found there was no backnut. Found it inside the sub frame. No problem I thought. The mount reassembles fine but the backnut isn't captive so there is nothing to stop it rotating or being pushed out when putting the bolt in. I can see the tide mark on the metal, but there are no weld marks etc?
I hope someone can say if there is anything missing!!!
