MK2 non hydro solid engine mount for mounting VNT turbo for sale.

[theman53]

I am making them. 10 pieces should be comming to be put together any day now. I think I am going to sell them at 75.00 plus shipping. I have made some prototypes and think I have a good final design. I will let you know when I get them done...I am lazy in the cold.

[jbattenhouse]

Have you finished any of these yet? 

[theman53]

Yes. I sent one to ROR to test. You HAVE TO HAVE THIS MOUNT  
For it to fit correctly. He had a hydro mount and things go a bit hairy. I don't have any made to sell, I have one for wdkingery as soon as I know he is in the country again I will send the mount to him....it has been too long and I need to get it to him as I built it in November.... anyhow if you need one and have a couple weeks I could do it. I have to get jimfoo his engine first, otherwise I could make one and get it out tomorrow or the next day.

i dont think you can use that mount in a late model car without changing the subframe.. you CAN use a mk3 mount in a late mk2 car tho..

i would just drill the mount so it works with both types of rubber isolators.. or you could drill it to work with early mk2, late mk2, and mk3..

thats what i would do... build it universal..

[theman53]

If someone is willing to ship me all the mounts I would need to make them universal I would do it. I am not going to buy the different mounts and ship them to make it happen, as cost exceeded my expectations already. I just need to sell some right now.

[theman53]

Let me know if someone could send me the MK3 mount.

The regular ones are still for sale. Which reminds me that I need to get one to the guy who made this all happen WD, sorry .

BTW this "Should" help if you need to flip the turbo. I found a pic that someone did and it looks like this could help those people too.

ill try and locate the mk3 mount. both the engine mount, and rubber isolator, because im going to switch to the mk3 single bolt isolator.. then that takes care of the clearance problem of the 3rd bolt against the turbo housing..

you still need my late mk2 mount? ive been a bit busy lately, and spaced it until now..

[theman53]

Yeah I need all mounts but the one that is in my car. Which is the 3 bolt on top, one bolt perpendicular to the 3 on top to mount it in the car. Non hydro mount, it the only one I have. I would like to make it so that all the mounts could be incorperated in 1. Just would have a bunch of holes in it like the multi bolt pattern rims.

that was exactly my thoughts.. drill the mounts with all 3 patterns.

and apparently, there is 7/16ths difference in the bolt holes between the rubber and hydro mount, like we found out.

MY engine mount fit in YOUR car, right? like you had it bolted up in your car at one point, and everything was fine?

[theman53]

yep. The ability to swing the mount forwards or back on the pivoting bolt was the key. Since my engine is blown I have time to test some junk.

yea, my mounts dont twist at all.. just stationary. they all have to be lined up perfect, or the mounts will deteriorate QUICKLY.

even tho everything is lined up good, i think my front mount is still being torn apart.. it isnt used to diesel torque. he!!... it doesnt even know what torque is, it had a digifant 1.8 hooked to it before!

Hey it ain't no thing.. Still waiting on the temp to come up anyway.. Whenever yer ready ill get you the $$ some kinda way

[theman53]

I still have around 9 of these ready to be gusseted and shipped out. Just letting everyone know.

[R.O.R-2.0]

mount works great everybody!





but beware, the mount only fits the OLD style mount.. i had to modify mine a bit to get it to bolt up to a hydro mount..

[theman53]

It now has 2 bolt patterns. If you have VW cast mounts with the numbers 191 199 354 A      OR     191 199 354 B. This will work. I have 2 cast mounts now and those are the part numbers. Both are 3 hole mounts, but I don't know what they are for on the car end. If you look at yours and it matches those numbers it should work fine.
