Hi groovers - it's hard for me to measure with the engine in the engine bay - can anyone tell me how far apart are the engine mounts? And for extra points what angle are they at from horizontal or vertical? (pic is not my car) Cheers, Rob.

Hi Rob,

I can't say I have ever seen their displacement written down anywhere. I am sure I have not seen the angle that the mounts subtend either, although you could work it out if you really wanted. I do know that the engine slopes back towards the rear of the car, but that is no secret. I did think I had seen that written down somewhere, but I can't remember :rolleyes: was something like 3 degrees or so.

That'd be great thanks - if it's no trouble. I'm trying to get a hold of an old cross-member for reference but haven't located one yet. Might have to fabricate the mounts from scratch (hence the question)......... onto my Mk2 Cortina front crossmember. You can see where I'm going with this.....:)
 
All good - no rush mate, it's just a thought project at the moment. There would be a bunch of stuff required so I'm gathering all my data to see if it's worth it... :)
