Solid front engine mount - how to???
« on: 14 May 2007, 18:16 »
I'm fancying a solid front engine mount as I've heard good things about them!!!

But I dont want to pay for one :grin: :grin: :grin:

Anyone know if there is a diagram with dimensions etc.. so that a can have a go at making one??

I've had a quick search, and I know some folk on here get them made up and sell to forum members so there must be someone who knows the sizes!!!

(PS I won't be making any for sale - so nno toes will be stepped on - I'm just being tight!!!)

allows engine to transfer power more easily and mean you never have to change it again!!!

Lee cant you take measurements from the std one in the critacal places I can send you a close up pic of one for the shape etc as I bought an EIP tuning one from the states.
Let me know if this will help..... Or worst ways if you cant get the dimensions you need I'll take mine off and have a measure up for ya but maybe ask Joe nicely and see if he wont measure one of those ones he got stiched up with  :angry:
