I like the solution from Richard, but would not like to drill some holes in the crossmember..By chance I got a block of plastic used for curbing ribs on snow ploughs.

Neat solution Detlev but difficult to see how much the nylon is proud of cross member. Mine is hard 66 grade nylon block shaped to tightly fill the upturned U cross section and sitting only 2-3mm proud of member edges with tapered edges front and rear. Main reason for choosing the medium was it's slipperyness so avoiding transmitting too much force to chassis when in contact with road obstruction.

BTW holes make sheet metal objects stiffer and mine are only 6mm anyway. The mounting bolts are simply to hold block in place, it's tight fit taking all the force.

A bit fiddly but not that difficult to replace the nuts/bolts on the rear mount. You can get a swan neck spanner in there. If you are counter sinking the holes with just axle stands, make sure you have a good pair or wrap around eye protectors.

The bell housing plate is my own homebrew bodge.

„ … section and sitting only 2-3mm proud of member edges with tapered edges front and rear“ - that‘s what I did, Richard.
End of August we will go to Danmark, the first test …
