My new V8 engine mounts
Evening Gents,
The fruits of today's labours.
I realise they're probaby massively over engineered but I'm a simple chef and was working on the better safe than sorry theory!
 
Engine Mounting 1
 
Engine Mounting 2
 
Engine Mounting 3
Cheers,
Martin.

They look well up to the mark, better safe than sorry.
Keep a record od the dims in case someone else might be doing the same thing as yourself, I presume its a Rover V8

Sorry to hijack the thread but I have been trying to get hold of Simon via email. I'll drop you a U2U.
Engine mounts look good by the way!!
Cheers,
Craig.

Nice sturdy looking mounts, shouldn't have any problem with them cracking!
If you haven't done so you might want to drill a drain hole in the bottom plate so the box section doesn't fill up with water.
