Engine Mount

[Guest mark little]

I know this is probably a long shot but does anyone have a pinto engine mount lying around, it's the hydraulic type that the alloy bracket from the engine bolts to. There were never any after market ones made and even Ford are struggling to supply one. I've managed to source one in Ireland, but like it says there is only one, so if anyone has one lying around or knows of one it would be greatly appreciated.

i may have one.... look at landrover mounts on ebay.... they will do the job

[Guest mark little]

Cheers Dave, is it the discovery 2 engine mount? Do you know if it raises the engine much, they look deeper than the Ford mounts.

If you already have a Ford mount and you want to sell it just let me know how much plus postage.

These

work well...I have them on my Redtop.

No good for mine I'm afraid, on the s7 I've got circular cut outs that the steel plate of the mounting fits through with the extended sides of the mounting bolting through holes on either side, the rubber hydraulic part is moulded into the steel plate with a bolt protruding from the top which the alloy mounting arm that is bolted to the engine fits over, nothing's ever straight forward is it!

ebay sell the polly bush type but not cheap think they are about £120 ebay no 141266813244 is it these ones

[Peter Bell]

They are the 4x4 and Cosworth type (even though they were fitted on the 1300 pinto too) and are pretty hard to find, unfortunately the word cosworth has a huge effect on the price.

[Dave R]

mine are the ones with a stud at each end... similar to bobs

 

maybe make an adaptor plate ?

[Guest shaggy]

I ought to have a couple in the garage - somewhere....

I used the landrover ones. Made an adapter plate to take them but mine had to have the top studs increased in diameter and lengthened to fit the cast steel engine arms.

[Guest mark little]

Biksz, yes those are the ones

At that price I would be modding the Land Rover ones to fit. :80:

If you are stuck try sierra shack on ebay he breaks sierras

[steve in stockport]

just been looking at ebay and came across these which look pretty similar to cosworth engine mounts

 

Looks to me like you could make these work by dropping a bolt through the arm into the mount and drilling two new holes to mount it

[Bob Tucker]

I used these at first for the redtop, but they both tore the rubber out.

IIRC the Jag mount sits around the rubber portion to locate it, & the bolt is just extra security.

I was using the bolt as the main fitting.
