Maybe you can get it altered, I would think twice about it being so close to the starter, all that heat might damage it, also can you remove the starter with the manifold in place. Hope it works out Chris.
I'm going to fabricate a heat shield to protect the starter motor, Mark. Cheers for your observation. 'Going to give it another attempt if it ever stops raining. Take care Chris Robinson
The Engine mounts are new. I reckon it's the orientation of the actual engine. I'll give it another try when it stops raining. Take care. Chris Robinson

Maybe a sensible car maker wouldn’t make you remove the engine, but Audi would.
Looks very wrong. Maybe for a P6 or SD1. Totally different to the tubular one fitted on the other car.
