It's an auto Dave

[Davezj]

thats good i just ordered some of these poly mounts from the US.

any chance in getting your old engine mounts so i can fit my new poly bits to them and then give you my old ones back once i have fitted them.

where did you get yours from.

[Gly]

ordered mine today

[peter thomson]

ordered mine today

Well worth it Carsten

[wintertidenz]

Ordered mine as well

[Davezj]

i have got my bushes, but i think i have been a bit of a muppet and ordered the 4 cylinder version of the kit.

pete can you measure the inside diameter of all the old mounts you have so i can see if the bushes i have will fit. i have just checked and i can't even get a good measure on the trans and engine mounts on my car have to start taking thing apart, and if you have them to had it would be much easier for you to do. If t is not too much trouble.

The ones that came in the kit i bought look like the 3 bigger mount that you have, Engine ,trans, rear roll stopper, but the front roll stopper is a smaller one and i am woundering if it will fit the standard front roll stopper caseing. hope you still have that one, as it was no use for your kit.

now that would be a happy accident if it does fit!

but i wont hold my breath.

Thanks Dave

[peter thomson]

Just off to check

[peter thomson]

Rear roll stopper is 84mm
Gearbox mount 78mm
Engine mount 84mm
front roll stopper 69mm

These may be out by a mil or so as I don't have callipers to be as accuarte as I would like

[Davezj]

i am measuring the polly bushes

i used a dgital vernier calliper. and got the following.

rear roll stopper 86mm box part no. 13-507
gear box mount 81mm box part no. 13-509
engine mount 89mm box part no. 13-503
front roll stopper 62mm box part no. 13-510

don't suppose you still have the box part numbers. All of the bushes came in individual boxes with part no. on the outside then these were inside the complete kit box.

[peter thomson]

Hi Dave part number are
13-503 , 13-507, 13-508 and 13-509

[Davezj]

Excellent!

by my roconing it is only the front roll stopper that is different for the eclipse V6 kit to the eclipse 4 pot kit.

and that one might fit the standard VR4 front roll stopper caseing. i actually have a front roll stopper caseing in the back of the shed somewhere. but i will have to pull all the rest of the stuff out of the shed first to get to it.
cheers for all the info Pete i couldn't have tracked it all down without you.

Rep point coming your way.

[peter thomson]

Thanks Dave. Will I be getting a delivery soon?

[Davezj]

well i have checked it out.

I found my front roll stopper casing and i don't think the bushing i have is going to work. The bushing i have for that mount is a odd shape and i can't see how it is going to fit anything.

i will post a pic later to show you.

I will have to try and source one from someone like Polybush. A 70 x 38mm bush with a 62mm long x 17mm ID tube.

I also found i have a spare trans mount on top of the gear box i bought so that is a good.

Here is question for you Pete,
what with black cap on the engine mount is it oil filled or something?
does that mean it is adjustable?

cheers Dave

[peter thomson]

The black cap is a lump of steel and acts as a harmonic dampener. I tried it off the car for a start and then put it back on. Didn't notice any difference though.
It isn't adjustable. The gearbox mount is the only one with oil

How very timely Peter! I've been trying to figure out why I was getting a hopping/knocking when starting from stationary - and just tonight I noticed the driver side engine mount is in tatters. No doubt the others are not far behind.

I just ordered the full set of bushings (Prothane part number 13-1903, $128 inc delivery) and the V6 front roll stopper ($78 inc delivery) all on ebay motors US. No doubt the HMRC will get their cut too.

Thanks!

[peter thomson]

I wasn't charged any customs so you might be lucky as well Phil.

Any tips from those who have changed their engine mounts on the best way to support the engine/tranmission whilst changing them out?

[Nutter_John]

Find a new best friend who happens to be called jack

just support the side your working on with a jack and a piece of wood to protect the sump or gbox

[phosty]

That's what I was originally thinking but then wondered if it would be sensible to support the engine weight on the sump casing - even using a piece of wood.
