Looks pretty much like the one I've got on my Mk 9 box.

Worth going to a scrappy to get the bell-shaped washer that fits underneath - stops the g'box flapping around so much.

or better still, get the Westfiled mount which is almost solid and only costs ~£9

Agreed!

I think it's a bit more than that but it comes with a set of bolts and is far less sloppy.

Cheers,

The mount I got from Westfield recently looks exactly the same as above and did not come with any bolts!

Mine came from westfield with bolts, but it's too narrow for the MK brackets and I couldn't be bothered playing with the old type 9 one so I bolted the new mount to a piece of metal which in turn bolts to the chassis. Not sure how good it all is as nothing is running yet!

I have the sierra one, but don't see how the bell shaped washer makes any difference.

Check under some of your Landys and you`ll find bolts
