A disintegrated transmission mount from the rear of a rear leaf spring of a Rover P5. Ordinarily, there is a triangular piece of metal. The bottom of the triangle is bolted to the leaf spring, and the two other sides are attached to some rubber bushes which bolt into correspondingly-angled mounting points on the chassis. In the picture, the rubber mounting bushes have completely separated from the steel triangle; nothing is locating the rear of the spring in place.

Currently bottled on the "fit the transmission" thing. My gearbox adapter is, so I found out too rather late, entirely wrong and the manufacturer insists it is correct.
So until that is resolved, I might as well get started on a different set of subprojects! Today I pulled the rear axle, in the rain, because that is fun and I enjoy doing that sort of thing in my free time.
While I was there, I found out that one of the rear springs was located with hope and not much else.
