But after measuring the isolator mounting hole, it appears to be 10mm further inboard, meaning the isolator fouls the radius part of the spring pan.

I've removed the spring from the isolator, and it's possible to stand on the centre to push it through the hole, and rotate it to lock it into place, but the flat section is raised up and I suspect the only cure would be to reduce the diameter of the isolator by cutting 5mm overall from the diameter.

The drainage holes do line up with the cutouts, I shall have to take some more measurements tomorrow to see if the position of the spring relative to the fulcrum bolt, and outer bolt remains the same as the original, and then work out if it will be necessary to cut off the ARB bracket and weld it back in the correct position.

You don't expect to have to fettle genuine parts though, to say I'm disappointed is an understatement

I wonder if the Roewe 750 has a different ARB set up to both MG7 and 75/ZT?
