Hi guys,

Just finished doing the engine mounts for my Luego.

I looked around and nothing seemed to deliver quite what I wanted - so I used some MK3 Fiesta Gearbox Mountings and got my Dad and his mates to fabricate some engine mounts. Massive respect to them - they look ace.

There's no play whatsoever in the engine - I'm delighted.

Next step is to get them nickle plated :-)

Please note pics are a little blurry - due to camera phone and not resized.

Camera arrived from Tesco's today so pics should improve in quality from now on

If anybody's interested - I might be able to get a couple more made up?

I'd have to charge something for them - so Dad and his mates can get a few drinks...


Cheers,

Murray

yep, they look the nuts! Look good and strong. Wanna make some for me?

Hehe

If you want Zetec then no probs - if you want a different engine then you'll have to give me the measurements...

And please make them accurate ;-)

I can't promise they'll make em - but I'll definitely ask for you!

Cheers,

M

would like some too! but not for a luego velocity it would be for a saab 96, would u need measurements for them? i wont be able to measure them for awhile so i guess its a non starter! the engine is a zetec but i won't be able to offer it up in the engine bay for awhile til i get home for easter! would u still be offering then?

I'll certainly ask

As long as you give the measurements and are happy to take the mounts based on your measurements - I cant see a problem.

I've asked them - and they are thinking about it

So I'll let you all know

Rough pricing is about £35.00 - there's 3 people involved...

Hi Murray, nice work chap. Looked in your archives and wondered why you where doing a kit and not scratch building with welding like that and then see in your post you hadnt made them

What you running for your induction m8 ?

And cheers for the tip on the shocks.

regards warren

They look good, pretty much the same the ones I made for my zetec. Better than some of the commercial offerings I have seen (no manufacturers mentioned)

Thanks BigWasa ;-)

Yeah my welding is shocking

Believe me - if I had the skills - I'd be right with you guys in building my own!

You guys who can weld are lucky, you should never forget that!

I'm running CBR 750's - the DAD has come up trumps again with a billet aluminium plate to mount the trumpets to - as an inlet manifold

I'm also running MegaSquirt and EDIS - my mate builds em and he's local

Givemethebighammer - absolutely! I want to know my engines staying where it is

Cheers,

M

when I'll be able to upload some pics I can show you how "well" enginered the engine mount is I paid way to much for.
