The plate for engine to gearbox or to the chassis?

To put a 1.6 in a 1.3 you don't really need either.

To put a 1.6 in a 410 you will need to mate it to a 1.3 gearbox and make a mount as far as I'm aware there is no remade one

The reason I ask, I've seen this kit, but couldn't work out if the bracket is for modifying the engine mount from 410 to vit...

That would only work for a 1.6 in a 1.3. That bracket relocates the 1.6 Mount which is slightly off center with the 1.3 chassis. You will need to make a new mount.

Have a look at ScottieJ's build thread.

I know there are photos there somewhere of the 1.6 into the 410 although he uses a doubler transmission it will give you an idea of the front mounts.

Ahh :( that would just be my luck! New mounts it is then, you wouldn't happen to have photos either of your own, or to anyone else that's done 410 to 1.6 8v, would you happen to have photos?

ScottieJ made his own. Timwilks fitted a 1.3 into his 410 and used a set of 413 mounts cut out of a 413 chassis. Lined it all up, tacked them in, engine out and fully welded them in.

Can't find any pics in Scotties thread. Just me and him jabbering. Its years old!

Would anyone happen to have images Of the work needed to fit the fat starter motor? And is the block still sound with having some metal ground away?
