Cav/cally etc? Part number on it?

[Steve]

Had a look on vauxhall-car-parts but cant identify it, just thought someone would recognize it.

[AlexW]

Preety sure its a cav/calibra rubber mount needed for the conversion so

[Sloth]

its a cav it wont fit, you need a nova one on a corsa conversion

[AlexW]

The one on the right looks like a Nova one?

[John]

The one on the right looks like a Nova one?

Me too.

[Sloth]

the one on the right is correct, you need to grind the lips off the edges for it to fit sometimes.

[AlexW]

The one on the right is a nova one, the studs are too close together by the looks.

Edit: From what ive read, if it runs a Chris astley mount, that needs a cav/cally mount.

[Sloth]

/\ nope ive used astley ones, i bought a new nova one from him and had to grind the lips. it fitted fine after that

[Steve]

Ok, the one on the left is what is removed from the corsa and the one on the right is the new nova one I bought before checking as I didnt think twice about it.

The metal engine mount looks to be the cav/astra original and its been bodged with another mount bolted to the chassis leg, hence why im confused as to what mount I should be using, ive looked http://www.vauxhall-car-parts.co.uk/acatalog/Astra2_Engine_Mounts.html on there but can't find one that looks right, any ideas??

[AlexW]

best thing to do is get a pic of the cars mount etc.

Id bet it being a cav mount though

[John]

Agreed, post some pics of what you have steve.

[Steve]

I'll get one of the actual body mount tomorrow when I can see what i'm doing lol

That looks like a CAM mount anyway?

The chassis mount should be a plate that bolts onto the 4 holes, with a U shaped bit for the mount.

[Steve]

Yeah thats what its got, so thats a conversion mount as well? Thought it was a bodged up mount lol the new mount ive got physically fits in the u-shape until you try and line the thread up, what rubber mount do you reckon its using then? As that website I used doesn't seem to have it.

[AlexW]

Cav/cally rubber. As the chris astley stuff uses, as i said earlier lol

The setup looks like this?:

[Steve]

Yeah thats what its got, I just figured bolting an engine mount on was a bit iffy. Why not just do like the novas conversion mounts and leave the factory chassis mount and make a new block mount around that..
I know you said its a cav/cally rubber but check out that site and see if you can see one on there!! lol

[AlexW]

Its due to the type 2 (which is like DOHC engines), the hole in the chassis for the mount is too low down the chassis.

And yeah i cant see mount on there, But they dont list everything so. Ebay?

[Steve]

Yeah i'll have to have a look, see if anyone wants to buy the new nova mount.

Cheers for your help matey :thumb:

[AlexW]

No probs dude.

[Chris Astley]

You need a Mk2 Cav rubber.

[Steve]

Really, which one?

[Damo]

Really, which one?

Im guessing the drivers side mount steve probabily similar to the nova one.

[Steve]

yes i know i need a drivers side mount, but what engine size cavalier? Ive looked all through the available ones and can't find one which looks the same.

[Chris Astley]

1.8 or 2.0 Driver side mount from the mk2 cav. Nova mount is similar but not strong enough either. There are a few people selling them on ebay.
