Yes, the opening in the bottom front of the case is for the Bus filler funnel and dipstick. There isn't room for the top-of-the-engine style in a Bus engine bay. Make sure the dipstick tube is still there!

Sure Dave, here's a shot. It was pretty tight. I ground off about 5 threads on the bolt ends and made notches in the bar for the nuts. The bar ended up flush against the plate but that should be fine with the solid motor mounts. That plate definitely won't come off on course 
Last night I got the motor back in and re-attached the CV axles. I had some nice 6mm hex head screws that had been drilled for safety wire. Old school but I'll know if any of those are coming loose!
