coventry kid Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Evening all.A friend recently had his modern serviced, and spotted a Stag awaiting attention. Apparently, it has had a Ford Granada engine conversion some time ago, and the engine mounts are shot. The garage has tried Stag mounts and Granada mounts, and neither fit.Has anybody experienced this conversion, and any clues as to which mounts would fit?Cheers all.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 could be anything! The nature of many conversions is that they use whatever is to hand.Can you post a picture?When choosing engine mounts for my conversion (zetec in a spitfire) I used ebay as a place to view a huge variety of mounts. Modern stuff is usually too bespoke, but 80's and older offer rich pickings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martins Stag Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Clive so perhaps this could be your new car as you have a liking for Ford engines Triumphs? MartinStandard engine mounts for a Stag are the same as GT6 ones for people that don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Ha ha ha ha.....Think I am happy with my collection as it is. I may reconsider when I get to a certain age (no offence meant to anybody except Martin)(edited to remove stoooopid autocorrections!)

coventry kid Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Thanks Clive. I will see whether I can get a picture. Its a second hand tale so I am only intermediary!But agree, a trawl through ebay with the old one on the desk would probably find something close.CheersM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Just a thought here. Many earlier fords used a round rubber mount with a bit of stud on either side. Very similar to landrover. Often used in kitcars etc these days. If I were to lay a bet I would say that type is most likely....But a picture is needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyman Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 check out the old "smiley face" ford transit diesel engine mounts, they sound similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coventry kid Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Thanks both. I emailed my chum and asked whether the garage can send a picture. Will pass on the advice in the mean time.CheersM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
