Thanks to dad's genius friend Dave who is a magician with welding I have a functioning engine mount and alternator mount all in one. We took the broken pieces of the engine mount and welded them together and then welded that to the alternator mount to create a very strong lump of metal.
I spent 3 hours today with the engine propped up on wooden blocks to stop it falling on me whilst I scrabbled around upside down in the engine bay trying to fit truculent bolts! The good news is that it is all now working and Relativity's iron heart is beating again - yay! The even better news is that I have no new injuries to report - double yay! The even better news is that Relativity and I made it across the river to Tesco for some vital supplies and then up the Kennet & Avon to the middle of town where we'll be spending a couple of days.
It does feel good to be mobile again.
And so to bed - have to be up early in the morning.
