Engine and Diff Subframe

I want to use rubber mounts between the engine and chassis to reduce vibration. This also requires the diff to be bushed, and a custom flex disc between the two.

The custom flex disc turned out to be pretty expansive, so to remove the need for one, I decided to build a small subframe to rigidly mount the engine and diff. The sub-frame will then be mounted on engine mounts.
