Didn't think about the capacity of the master cylinder. I'll have to dig out the one from the 109 that I'm salvaging parts from.
While under the car today I noticed that the bell housing is sitting on one of the crossmembers, my initial thoughts are:
1 - old loose engine and gearbox mounts (are these easy to replace with taking out the engine?)
2 - the crossmembers has some damage and may have been knocked up
-
Both are possibilities probabilities. The bell housing does not have to clear it by much though.
-
Can you change the engine and gearbox mounts without pulling the engine and gearbox out?

Does someone know the part number of the adjustable bracket for the alternator? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4fa861efd6.jpg

That is a generator (AUS) or dynamo (UK), not an alternator, and the adjustable bracket is 514472.

Series 2--- --247523
Series 2A--- 514472

That Generator is from a Series One , dated 6-54
For reliability sake you'd be better off fitting an Alternator to be honest .
-
The date does not matter, as long as it's a LU22258

I would agree, but Series 2s are getting rare enough that you might want to put authenticity above reliability. (My 2a has an alternator - I have a long history of failing generators, usually the rear bush failing. They don't like dust, but careful and regular maintenance helps.)
