I've been slowly putting a G16b Baleno engine into a WT Maruti. I've added a falcon alternator and Jimny power steering to the mix during the install. Today was the first mock up in the engine bay, I'd cut the old 1L mounts off and was trying to get the motor into position to tack on the new mounts but the power steering bracket was hitting the radiator chassis mount. Anyone come across this before? I'm tempted to source 1.3 radiator chassis mounts and brackets to go with the 1.3 radiator sitting patiently in a box but also would love a cheaper/quicker solution if anyone has one. Alternatively I'll make a new bracket to lift the pump up a bit but I'm curious if I'm encountering a problem now that would show its head anyway when I tried to install the rad with clutch fan.

Also while I'm here and the mounts aren't yet fully burnt in, should the 1L bonnet close with a baleno? If so I might have my engine up a bit high somehow. The thermostat is almost touching the firewall with the adapter so I can't go any further back.
