I have a 1.8 cvh and wondered what the mounts are meant to be like for it, as the engine wonot go low enough for the steering column to be at the right angle to reach the steering rack. any suggestions for those who have a cvh??
Ill try and get some pics later to better descibe my problem.
Thanks

The original engine mounting rubbers are quite tall & CVH alloy engine mounts are quite bulky
You may find that you will need to fabricate your own custom mounting arms to avoid the need of re-routing the steering shaft
If you want a bit more freedom to be creative with the engine mountings. You can pick up some landrover rubber engine mounts on ebay for about a Fiver. A lot less bulkier than the Sierra ones & more than up to the job.
