Title: Mounts
Post by: dansmk3 on 02 August 2011, 20:14
Guys would these mounts be all i need for the VR conversion?

as iv seen this one on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Corrado-VR6-polished-engine-gearbox-mount-/160630285058?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item25664fa302 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Corrado-VR6-polished-engine-gearbox-mount-/160630285058?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item25664fa302) and am wondering if i need this too?

and am i right in thinking that all i need to change are these mounts and then the lump can get bolted in? iv got all the clutch conversion bits.
this weekend is going to be fun and games as all the ancils have been stripped off the lump so i have got to work out where they all go and get new rubber 'o' ring seals for them. any ideas of where is best to get these from also?

cheers guys

Easier to swap subframes IMO. You do realise the dash and servo have to come out, yeah?

Servo is just so you can get the engine loom out. Just too tight with it in. Fair enough I found it quicker doing subframes but I guess I was swapping brakes as well.

servo just needs to be loosened

The VR6 mounts are exactly the same as the 8v ones apart from the Drivers side rear one if that helps

ah sh1t yeah i remember you saying mate. iv been told with the clutch conversion (i have the clutch piston thing lol) goes through the bulkhead, white clip clips onto back of clutch pedal then one of the hoses goes into the brake res and other goes to clutch. now with connecting to the res i been told you can just plug it in in a way ???? unless ben has a spare late brake res??? :wink:
