yet another engine mount thread

[thecrim22]

hey peoples been going through search posts on here and they all seem to be about aby or rs2 or contradicting each other.

are the engine mounts for a 3b s2 non aircon the same left and right? if not can they be made to fit? i can get a right no problem but a left is a pain

I got the wrong ones for my 3b and just filed them to fit Might depend if there is enough material to slot the mount on different castings?

[thecrim22]

How do you mean you got the wrong uns?

[Mikes2]

The engine mounts for the 3B changed for the 1992 model year.

if it's a 1991 car, left and right engine mounts are the same

If it's a 1992, they are sided

Mike do you know what changed for a new mount to be needed?

I bought mounts apparently for my car online. One of the holes in the cast mount was in the wrong place, so I filed it out until it fitted. In the picture below the right hand ear is big enough for the hole to drilled in two places, and mine was in the wrong place.

Cool did u buy 2 right mounts and make un fit the left then?

[andy10v]

I cant remember I am afraid, I fitted one, and then hade to elongate the hole in the other one to fit.

[thecrim22]

Not sure Andy. I can only think that the mounting positions changed.
