Rubber Engine Mounts
 
I will be hopefuly be doing a trial fit of my engine in a couple of weeks, the problem i have is, the rubber engine mounts where perished so i need to replace them.

The local ford garage does not keep them and there price to order them made me full over with shock :eek:

So my question is what can i use instead or can someone tell me where i can get them, there for a 2l pinto.

Thanks in advance

I am using a 4 cyl Bmw engine but these mount look neat and are cheap.

I will also be using these engine mounts, I also know that HandyAndy will be too., the engine mounts need to be motived to accommodate them though as they are not as big as the old ones.

The land rover rubbers are the best to go for, they are cheap and give a nice firm support for the engine. The only problem is you shall have to remake the cvh engine brackets to suit.

A lot of people have had trouble with the sierra rubbers being perished so i think it would be wise for all builders to change their rubbers as part of the build.

I bought mounts from car builder solutions, they do a nice range that aren't expensive so you may find a set to suit you without modifications.
