I have replaced the screw although it seems to me still misaligned now in the mount. But if feels secure, and the car appears to be running a whole lot better.
Another option is shorten the screw
I think it is the motor mount part where the internal thread is damaged, perhaps it is why the original screw head sheared off. I ordered a replacement motor mount which arrived today just after the cars had been collected by DHL. So I can’t change it now, but hopefully the car is good enough for the Viking Round. I will then look to change it over before the 3rd round.
