Here are a couple of snaps.

Was a 'Okay' weekend, got back on the Sunday and decided how I was going to make my mount STRONG!
So off to work on Monday and I go in the stores and find a Land Rover metastatic bush. Perfect I think. Got home and started WORK!
Removed some ****e..

Broken bolts, other end is still in the block at this point.

Old Mount,
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01849.jpg
And where the new bush will now live
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01850.jpg
It will be a Solid mount but a diesel version :)
Any way started to remove the belt and timing cover in order to remove broken bolts and fit the 1.7 back plate, tensioner and mount.
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01851.jpg
If you make that mount solid and the rest standard rubber it will put more strain on the bolts.
Roughly showing where the mount will be.

Didn't touch her Tuesday but I removed the broken bolts on Wednesday, struggled to remove them as they were locktighted so I welded some nut on the end (WIN)

http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01892.jpg
And all mounted up :)
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...DSC01895-2.jpg
The Idea is its only a 'pivot' type mount any way so being solid it doesn't matter, also as it only resting on the one 16mm bolt it isn't going to twist the other mounting points. So IMO it will be strong and still simple.. But only time will tell!
Need to paint it all up tomorrow and fit the new timing cover, back plate, tensioner and pulleys etc then road test... Fingers crossed :)
very nice mate, i dont think that will be braking, i think you might want a nylock nut on there though.
I will get one, haven't got one in stock today but do have them fancy locking washers with the tabs on.
Hopefully rather than braking the bolts it will twist on the stud :)
Thanks anyway Sam :)
Good work on the engine mount!
Don't hang about do ya lol good effort lad looks smart hopefully will do the job and the rover won't have to follow you about lol
Cheers Guys, its all done now any way, its very smooth (doesn't vibrate what so ever) and very stiff, the engine don't move half as much now and it even handles better as there isn't 200kg of derv power pushing against you so much :)
Looks well mate, where you get the Png stickers from?
Cheers Jay. There from the club pack.
Well set to this morning finishing off the mount, first of all I removed it and painted it up.
Then I set about fitted the timing cover, tensioner and belt..
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01897.jpg
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01898.jpg
Once that was done I refitted the mount and got her running :)
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01900.jpg
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01902.jpg
A quick video to show how smooth she is
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...h_MOV01901.jpg
Then on with refitting the other ****ee
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01904.jpg
So went on road test and couldn't believe how smooth she was and quite, no horrible dash rattle like before either! She even handles better and feels so much more solid, Picture after the road test of her sat with lewis' older sister!
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01903.jpg
After that I thought I would fit the seats Connor very kindly gave me at PV
here they are
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01905.jpg
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01907.jpg
They fit a treat against my Amp box so am happy with that :)
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01910.jpg
And I also fitted this silly sticker lol
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01906.jpg
That's all for now folks..
that sticker is cool :cool:
