I had to replace the carrier rear mounts (2) on my 260 when I installed the 3.07 gears. Both of them were shot.

I also replaced both side seals. Oh, and I'd buy an ABS speed sensor o-ring in advance since both the one on my 260 and the one on my 300 donor car broke when I pulled out the sensors.
The only other thing I can think of is that there are shims placed at the carrier front mount and they determine pinion angle.

You want to look at markings on the carrier at the front mount boss. IIRC there are some marking there and they indicate the shim thickness. I was lucky in that I could swap the shims from my donor 300E. Did you get the shims with your ebay purchase?
