Lower engine mount muppet alert

[suzublu]

Nice day, decided to fit a new lower mount. Undertray off, car up on 2 paving slabs, bolts removed, old mount removed, easy job this Then the muppetry started. Fitted the long bolt first, the small bolt wouldn't line up, 1/2 a hole out. Bit of Heath-Robinson bits of wood, jack, long bar, managed to get the bolt in but it wouldn't engage the nut. Long bolt out, fitted the small bolt, then tried the long one again. Nope, wouldn't tighten. Took all the wood etc off, made a cup of tea and had a think. Thought the worst, had the captive nut snapped off Tried the bolts in the holes and they all tightened, so refitted the mount. Small bolt first, then the long bolt. Now there are 2 holes near each other, one has a captive nut (the correct one) the other is just a hole Guess which one I'd been using
2 hours of faffing about, 10 mins to fit properly
Moral, a cup of tea works wonders
