It has been brought to my attention by World of Reliant forum member " johno " that you might only have to cut 5mm off the Landrover rubbers on some Reliant models instead of the 13mm that Adrian had to cut off to fit the earlier Rialto .
Advice is to try a 5mm cut and see if that fits before you cut it to 13mm
" Johno " added the following advice re a 1992 Mk2 Robin ;
To be precise (for your website)
The right side(driver side) needed no modification.
The left side (passenger side) 5mm removed from the base plate steel of the rubber mount and also required removal of the rubber ridge just adjacent to the cut for clearance on the chassis cross bar.
I used my angle grinder which is fine if you can put up with the burning rubber smell The chassis side holes are slotted and the new mount threads fit perfectly, although the engine front plate had to be drilled to 10mm after grinding off the captive nuts.
I am going to use Nylock type nuts to secure both top and bottom.
