1.8T conversion in to a Mk2

i'm thinking of having a solid front mount made by the same engineering company that are re-drilling my hubs to 5 stud for me.

i've got a pic of one so they should be able to knock one up in steel quite easily don't you think?

 

Thye'd need a few dimensions, not just a pic

 

just a quick question guys while we're on the subject. will any 20v engine mount straight onto the mk2 or is it only the agu engine code that does??????????

 

They all will, but the passat and A4 longitudinally mounted ones are slightly different

 

so, anybody got some dimensions for me??

or can i make some using the stock mount as a guide?

 

Davs, save yourself the bother and get one of these:



65 quid includes p&p

 

65 quids worth of material and labour in that you think?

I think not

 

Better than spending 130 on a vibratech - which is part rubber anyway.

Love the way that Vibratech say it's a 'solid' mount, when clearly, it's not

 

russ mate, i saw one of those and thought exactly what andy said.

65 squid for that??????? lol!!!!

 

Needed any new fillings yet??

 

i've heard that they aren't as bad as people think.

Can't get an engine mount more solid than that bad boy!

 

The front cross memeber is rubber bushed to the chassis legs anyway, so it wont be as bad as you might expect

 

I have Vibratechnics all round on mine, and coupled with Powerflex bushes on the front crossmember you can feel vibration in the cabin at tickover. Once underway it's OK though.

I'd be interested to experience one fitted with a solid front mount - must be aweful.

Anyway, why do you need a solid front mount in a road car? OK, if you're gonna track it regularly I can see why, but.....

For a road car I'd just get a brand new 1.3 Golf solid rubber front mount from VW and be done. More than up to the job and a fraction of the the price.

 

I've got a BBM solid from mount and you can tell NO differance between standerd and the bbm! BUT i'm still using standerd mounts in the front X member

 

I am using a g60 gearbox with seat bracket, g60 flywheel, vr6 clutch, vibratech mounts, polyflex bushes, dta management and i have had no problems

 

My tickover is still at the factory set 750rpm - Probably not helping.

What are your cars idling at guys?

 

By the time you write a cnc program, Buy the material(HE30),Book a slot on the cnc machine, Tap threads and buy bolts. I think 65 is very reasonable.

if you know someone who works in a machine shop it would not really be that difficult.

A solid lump of cast iron would be adequate for the job, and the dimensions can be easily found.

remember its about who you know, not always what you know in this game

 

Yeah, you really need a CNC to make that dont you

 

A good machinist like our very own Dave22222222222277777777777777 should be able to knock that up in a jiffy, given dimensions....
