Which diesel engine mount do I have?

Post by mig »

My "complete " diesel conversion kit came with 2 LH ( I think) engine mounts

They have different brackets fitted,any one know which is correct?
Is the separate (home made looking) bracket for the exhaust?
Thanks

yup, you've got 2 matching nearside mounts! :(

The one on the left has what looks like a cut down Landrover engine mount fitted for an exhaust mount, with a VW two bolt sandwich style exhaust mount lying of the floor next to it

I can't see the mount under the plate on the right, but I could be a VW exhaust mount to

for the exhaust mount position

Metal elongated traiangular plate at bottom of pic attaches to OS sump and acts as exhaust hanger.

The two bits attached to it look like some crap a PO has attached. :ok

O.K guys,thanks for the help,
I thought the bracket looked decidedly home made,I'll get the angle grinder out and try and find an O.S engine mount.:roll:
