My Lotus dealer estimates that it will take their service department 3 hours to install Lotus Sport uprated engine mounts (front and rear only) on my 2-Eleven. Although not identical to Manly's, the mounts look similar and I assume installation would take about the same amount of time. The service manager says pulling and reinstalling the undertray is time consuming, but many who have installed Manly's mounts posted that the entire installation process took 1-2 hours. Does 3 hours seem reasonable for an experienced Lotus mechanic?
