Small engine mount supplier

I am looking for a relatively small engine mount rubber to allow me to keep my engine below the bonnet line. Ideally i am looking for engine mounts about 60/70mm diameter, but the height needs to be about 25/30mm.

I have tried Car Builder Solutions as they are normally quite good for this type of thing. They have a good range but nothing that matches quite what i am looking for.

Does anyone know where i could get a mount something like this?

Any suppliers or web links much appreciated.

Thanks.

A rather vague and tenuous link here I'm afraid, but I've got an idea that some early Land Rover gearbox mounts may be what you're looking for.

These were bobbin type mounts that had these sort of dimensions, but I don't know which series, etc. I think there's a few LR experts on the forum, maybe they could help? Being LR they're probably pretty cheap too, which always helps.....

Fitted some LR (S3 diesel?) gearbox mounts to mine - thought they were lower profile but ended up being the same as stock Ford Capri ones! Bit stiffer though...Think they're about 40mm...

For that sort of thickness, you may have to look at some older flat (double bolt) mounts or have a peruse through something like Superflex?

Only mounts i can think of off the top of my head are Mini Exhaust bobbins - but they can't hold a Mini exhaust on!





Long live RWD...

If you have one nearby try Partco, I got a mount for a Fiesta (rectangular rather than round) IIRC
