Calling Spyder Zetec owners - Engine Isolators

Does anyone have a picture of the rubber mounts which I think are referred to by Spyder as isolators.

Do you mean the rubber engine mounts? If so, I don't have great pictures but I do have these pics I took at a show a few years ago:

Top man thank you. I'm trying to establish if the rubber mounts are a simple change as the ones on my car look like they are past their prime!

I’m running one that also wraps around the engine mount.
I was worried about the heat so close to the rubber so I wrapped it which works fine.
One tweak I’ll make next time is making a plate with the bolts welded on because screwing individual nuts on with the manifold in place is an awful job.

Changing them is a good idea as the one near the exhaust manifold snapped after 8 years. Andy found it during the cambelt change and replaced it then.
