The cross member is attached to the body with a funny double captive bolt thingy that should be the same for both IIRC.
unsure about autos, as jonners says they probably use the same mount points as the o/d boxes.
You seem to have a bracket with bolts in all three holes, it should line up with the back two bolts each side, if it doesn't it's on the wrong way round

If as I suspect you are, then as it is an early car, it had an external ballast resistor (mounted on the inlet manifold alongside the coil). This will still be on the 1850 engine?
