Subject: More advice needed - engine mountings
I am trying to figure out what the engine is supposed to sit on. The Club spares site lists rubber cushions 'for the rear engine mountings' I think it says. My car had similar pads all round, so I assumed this was a misprint of some sort (some of the parts descriptions are a bit vague). But I now find that these cushions won't fit the front chassis brackets unless I cut a flat on one edge. So presumably they are for rears only? In which case what do the front mountings sit on. Again, I didn't find the spares website particularly clear on this.

Also, is there a 'standard' Lagonda green? I want to touch up the chassis paint before I drop the engine back in, but can't figure out what colour it is. Not BRG, not Deep Brunswick, not anything I have found so far. Not a major problem at this stage as I'm only looking to tidy it up a bit for now. The closest I have is London Transport Deep Brunswick Green as used on the old country buses, but it's a bit too blue.
