I'm unaware of any designs around, I was lucky enough to get my hands on
some engine mounts, x-member (engine and gearbox) and made copies. The
engine x-member was the easiest, simply cut off the lip, ground the welds
off the piviot pin mounts. Turn them around 180 degrees (swapping left one
with right & vice-versa), so when reversing the x-member they are back in
their original places. Weld 'em up square. Elongate mounting holes and
bob's your uncle. Couple of hours work.
