Ignore what I said before about the measurements of the engine mounts. Having measured everything again, I think that once the new mounts are installed (assuming they fit) the engine will be approx 1cm higher - or possibly more - than it is now. This is after all the reason I am changing the mounts in the first place - the rubber has disappeared and the engine is hanging too low.
