Hello.
I used the auto gearbox crossmember on my late model mk1 (1300xl auto) with spacers added and longer high tensile UNC bolts. Do remember using a small screw driver as a lever to help line the bolt holes up as they were a little bit out, but as stated previously manufacturing standards in 1974 were all over the shop.
Are you using the correct short/long combination 2 litre engine mounts and new engine rubbers?

This is what I had to do.

This is the mount you want. It pretty much bolts straight up.
