Having recently replaced both engine mounts and the front gearbox mount, as well as the support bracket from the mount to the side of the engine, I still have quite a vibration from the engine.
The points and condenser have been replaced and the timing is absolutely perfect.
I've been working on the carb for quite a few days, thinking that my mix was incorrect, but I think its fine. No smoke, revs and idles nicely.
In fact, leaning over the engine bay, the engine looks quite stable. It seems to make more noise in the cabin, like a rumbling sound. I can feel the vibration in the steering wheel and the rear view mirror also vibrates. If I increase the revs the vibration is far less.
So now I'm thinking that perhaps the rubbers on the engine mounts are too hard. They're obviously after market parts and look a little plastic-like.
I really expected a lot more from them

. I was so concerned about centering the exhaust through the hole in the inner wing, that I overlooked the space between the cross brace and the exhaust. It was less than 0,5mm, so with the engine vibrating, it was obviously hitting the exhaust.
