Paul,
           Have been all over my RX8 to see where I can attach the top engine mount to the motor.  All your drawings from what I can see seem to have a few large studs that attach to the center casting. MIne seems to only have three 6mm holes off to the one side which does not seem beefy enough.  How do I attach the mount??

First thing is figure out what rod end joint you will use.

Can you order stuff from McMaster Carr in Oz?

Here is what I recommend. The 1/2 inch rubber male.
Can you buy US nuts and bolts in OZ. If not we will
need a sleeve.

We can probably drill and tap those 3 holes to 8 mm on top of
the RX8 center housing. I'll do a 3D.
