Fabricating engine mounts

[GT_Jim]

does anyone have any tips or advice, i am trying to fit a zetec to the standard cortina crossmember but im finding that with the escort circular rubber engine mounts it is too wide for the zetec which has lead me to 2 options

 

1 chop a small section out of the crossmember and angle the top of the mount slightly

 

2 chasis mounts

 

if anyone has some pic of either that they could send me id be greatful

pop to your local motor factors and ask them nicely to look through their engine mount/ suspension bush catalog. some of them have pictures and measurements so you may be able to find something that fits straight away

ask neil at 105speed or Dave at retro sure they will have or will no what mounts to use

these are zetec mounts using the rubbers, if that helps??

 

 

the blue bits on the inside are spacers from the block. and the rubber is just covered in blue insulation tape, cause i wanted it blue =)

i have the DIY kit from Dave at retro ford as he said they dont do mounts that work with standard mk1 crossmembers ill have a word with neil and see what he says

looking at the standard crossmember it is 120mm narrower than a mk2 escort, i have seen anglias using the original steering gear but i thought their crossmembers were similar to mk1 cortinas is this right?

I'm sure Rally Design do a kit as well
