Andy Flexney Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hi,anyone any ideas where I might find some rubber doughnuts to use as engine mounts?They are 60 mm in diameter with a 14.5mm hole and about 30mm high.I have found loads of different engine mounts on the internet but nothing suitable.ThanksAndyF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Land Rover engine mounts?....use them on the V8 and for silencer box mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Look a bit like small-chassis Triumph diff mounts. Similar sorts of things are used as strut top bushes on various modern cars though tracking down the ones with the best dimensional match will be a challenge.These look the part http://www.flyingspares.com/shop/damper-stem-rubber-ur27366.htmlbut goodness knows what their actual dimensions are (Bentleys are quite bigt & heavy though!)Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxbodger Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 A BX rear lower engine mount is a similar size and shape. They're common across many PSA cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedTaylor Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 These are similar to Range Rover Classic and Discovery body mounting blocks. Paddocks may be able to help as they also do Rangie/Disco spares.MUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry what do you mean with "BX" and "PSA cars"Thanks for the tip with Landover but they look like they have a stud bonded in. I can't use them as I need to put a bolt through.AndyF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Citroen BXPSA is the peugeot/citroen groupHave you tried searching bushes rather than mounts? look like tie-bar bushes. Or it may be possible to make some from polyurethene if you get really stuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Flexney Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Many thanksLooking at the pictures on Google it looks like those engine mounts have a metal casing which would interfere with the movement on my application.But I did we some Powerflex bushes that might work. I will have to contact them.AndyF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velocita Rosso Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 How abot using the diff mount bushes for the spit/GTIf you us two per http://www.superflex.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=SF375-0645K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedTaylor Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Quoted from AndyF Thanks for the tip with Landover but they look like they have a stud bonded in. I can't use them as I need to put a bolt through. Not the body mounts. They are round blocks of tough rubber placed above and below the mount welded on the body so that the body sits on - and a large bolt goes through the middle.MUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
