Does 3 hours seem reasonable for an experienced Lotus mechanic?

Norm,
The Lotus Sport motor mounts are not the same as Manly's...they require more work and time to install. I believe that you also need a press to install them. You don't retain the existing rubber mounts and fill the void with the Lotus Sport mounts-- they replace the existing rubber mounts in toto.
