[Mgs] mgb engine mounting

[Paul Hunt]

As said some time back GTs originally never had the restraint rod, only Mk1 
roadsters, GTs had the brackets on the engine mounts, as did Mk2 roadsters 
until Feb 74.  From then North American roadsters and GTs had restraint rods 
*plus* the control brackets, other markets not until September 74 and the 
start of rubber bumper production and the round engine mounts when the 
control brackets were dropped from all cars.  A '74' GT could have been 
manufactured in 73, it depends on the chassis number.  Also a PO could have 
not bothered refitting the restraint rod, the control brackets missing on 
cars that should have them seems very common.
