not sure bout his engine mount, i would of lengthened the braces to go each side of the nut, that steel could bend. prob wont as its pretty thick but still seems a little odd for what looks like a good job to not make it stronger

Well, i can tell you, the engine mount is strong enough. is made of 5mm thick steel with reinforcements inside.
