I got all the individual pieces for the motor mount cut a couple of weeks ago. A company in Queenbeyan cut them for me using a very cool computer controlled profile cutter normally used for cutting glass and ceramics but which could also be used for steel and wood (they can cut 10mm MDF without any noticable swelling at all).
Unfortunately in my original model I forgot to include the studs for the power cables on the side for the motor and the lower A/C mounting plate ended up being in the same place as one of the studs. To move the mounting plates out by 25mm I added two small "fixit" bits to the front plate (shown below in white) and widened the top plates. Lesson for first time 3D CAD modelers - model all parts of the components and ot just the major bits!

Next step is to sort the mounting arrangements for the A/C compressor and the vacuum pump which go on the other side.
The photo below shows the main part fully welded with the power steering pump and vacuum pump fitted up.
