Zetec Engine Mount
the_big_1 - 27/5/16 at 07:44 PM

Hi Guys,

Looking online, all the Zetec engine mounts show three bolt "Triangler" mount on the inlet side (Same as mine) but on the exhaust side, they all show a four bolt plate but mine isnt and i can not find any pics where the four bolt square version would bolt too. Has anyone any pics of this mount in place?


Cheers!

Just behind the water pump. My home made mounts are 3 bolt on offside and 4 on nearside. Cant see the 4th here bit it's defo bottom corner!

Great stuff!
Mine is further back. Where is your alternator mounted as mine is using those four holes.

I had a similar engine mount to that on my zetec, at the last trackday I managed to sheer the bolts , I've made a new one with added 1/2" plate and gussets to beef it up.

i've got a 3 bolt exhaust side mounting on my striker, it has also been broken and rewelded a few times, and having just taken a pic is deffo due a repaint.

It comes out further back, to the same place as the original crossflow engine mount was, i did have to cut a 1/3 off the crank breather case to allow it to fit.

The 4 bolt mount pictured above isn't useable on a striker for the alternator due to the angle of the engine in the chassis giving no room there, i have the alternator below the throttle bodies like the raceline mounting kit.
