Not sure where you might get one in England. Did you consider trying to post an "Items Wanted - AUTO" over the vZi Classifieds? Someone did a few months ago and got an answer:

The part number is 111301265C - I Googled it and came up with this match from the UK - I know nothing more than you see on the page though:

If you want to deal with shipping from the USA, here's a match from TheSamba Classifieds:

That's a hard one to find, it's a 1 year only item and your 60' is full of 1 year items. Check here, check Gene Berg Enterprises, and any other vw parts place.

Front transaxle mounts are discussed a lot for the earlier Bugs because of people changing from one style transaxle to another. Just to make sure, are you going to be installing a split case transaxle in your 1960, or a full syncro tunnel case transaxle? That one-year only front mount only fits a one-year only split case transaxle with matching nose cone.

if installing a tunnel case trans into a 1960 beetle you have to use a 1960 only front mount.
if installing a tunnel case trans into a 1959 and older then you use a 59-67 type2 bus front mount. also both 59 and older and 1960 use a bus nosecone and bus hockey stick. please keep this info in mind snort.

ahh now this is interesting what you guys are saying.. i am putting a later gearbox in but i do have a split screen nose cone and stick fitted.. as the early box that was in it was broke. it looks ok from the old mount untill it broke

Here's a good thread for you to read on the 1960 transaxle swap.

I don't think he's still waiting after 2 years.

just did this myself. used a tunnel trans, with bus nose cone and hockey stick. Welded the front mount off a newer bug. Thats the easy part. Now the tricky part is lining up the hockey puck up right. if you just you the stock holes it wont work.
