"If you want rubber mounted frames, just put a rover front one in... "

I believe that they have the single tower bolt and won't fit an Aussie car anyway, is that right?

"rumour has it there might be a truck going up that way soon"
and these 'newish' minis will be welded back together and be on the road soon :) habits die hard.

Oh I forgot to ask as well; When I was removing the subframe a few of the bolts decided to shear. Would it be ok to drill these out and tap to take larger high tensile bolts?

If you are talking the rear subframe yes you can retap them to 3/8".
Use grade 5 or grade 8 bolts.
