passenger side engine mount Mk1 Rabbit
« on: December 20, 2009, 07:41:28 pm »
Hello all,
Got a question for all of you who have done a 1.6 N/A to a 1.9 AAZ swap in a MK1.
I managed to get the old engine mount out of my modified engine bracket.
The new engine mount bolt hole is not centered.
Here is a pic.

I am coming up with four scenarios as to how it fits in the bracket

1.    http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss245/AYANKAH/engine%20mount/th_enginemount005.jpg

2.    http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss245/AYANKAH/engine%20mount/th_enginemount004.jpg

3.    http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss245/AYANKAH/engine%20mount/th_enginemount003.jpg

4.    http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss245/AYANKAH/engine%20mount/th_enginemount002.jpg


Can anyone tell be how it fits in the bracket?
I hate to hammer it in and find out its is 45deg out.

thanks!

Heavy duty bushing? Do you know who sells it? and would you happen to have a P/N?
Thanks!

i still say it is number one. he has the motor mount holder upside down in the picture. so by the orientantion of the holder itself, the rubber mount is correct in picture one.  but by the orientation of the just the rubber mount, then it is correct in picture 3.  but to make it easy, just remember that the bigger hole goes up towards the hood.

Thanks for your help and patience guys but just to be sure I took another set of clearer pictures of the engine mount and bracket with the proper mount orientation.

so this is the correct orientation right??

No, its not.  You have it 180 wrong.  Think of it this way....the weight of the motor should be "hanging" on more of the rubber "meat".  In other words, when on the car you should see more rubber on the topside than the bottom....over time the bolt hole will move upwards as the rubber breaks down.

basically when it is on the motor, the hole should be low down

this is a pic of my downpipe, but you can see the mount!
