Hi guys... If anyone has any CA engine mounts I will be willing to buy from you...

Thanx

X 2

I'll be able to get back to you on that at the end of the month.

ford 3.0 V6 big mounts

or

jaguar V8 mounts

make sure they the 50mm mounts, and then use a few big washers to space them out another 14mm.

BAM - CA18/SR20 engine mounts for about 50 bucks each!

a bit hillybilly, but it works!

Seriously this works ? Will it last?

cant you just get them made up

you can make them up with a some polyurethane and a threaded bar, some washers, a couple of bolts and a cup.

i'll find the link - its really easy!

as for the other mounts working. yes they work. a good buddy of mine did that mod - and has been keeping his eye on them for about a year now, and they're fine!

yes it works, and it's just as rigid as a pair of Nismo mounts....

actually it seems the ford ones i got were slightly softer than nismo (although still harder than stock ones). i saw the engine vibrating when it was running on only 3 cylinders!

i reckon maybe the jag ones are harder!

Awesome okes... Shots for all the advice You see I'm in JHB so I think I'll try source those Jag or Ford mounts, sounds like a plan. Reason why I need them is because my engine's coming back from a rebuild pretty soon and one of my standard mounts broke in half after taking out the engine I've been keeping my little jobby on the low-down lately but will definately post an article soon

HEY! you are a 3 cylinderist!

I have the ford option at the moment - i have only broken about 4 in the 2.5 years I have had this conversion. I don't think the Ford ones are as close to the original nissan mounts dimension wise - rather go for the Jaguar ones - as VC says I also heard they work much better...

the jag and the ford mounts are both 50mm in diameter, but the ford ones seem a bit softer.

the original mounts are about 64mm so you still have to use washers or something to get the correct height.

hey sokar, PFB...

i cant find my link to the DIY polyurethane engine mounts...

please post it if you have it!

shooting!
