What a surprise another set back

[dullbird]

So went to put the engine on this evening and low and behold naother problem.

Looking at the mounts that we ordered from paddocks they appear to have sent us the wrong one.

On mu invoice I have 2054 and they have sent 2052 which is the engine/ gearbox mount for the diesel engine.

Now the engine mounts for the diesel that I have seen have been Square but these are round. however I double checked and they are listed on there site as being for the diesel and gearbox.

Does anyone have a clue as to whether I can use them still? I contacted paddocks but they are shut today:mad:

[groucho]

Never seen round diesel mounts, May be new or one size fits all.
I have used diesel mounts in a petrol before, they last longer
no difference in my opinion.......

[dullbird]

could it be that the diesel just needs tougher mounts because its heavier maybe?

[groucho]

Yes, lots more vibration in a diesel. Work just fine in a petrol

[drifter]

What diameter are they?

My gearbox ones are ~51mm diameter and my engine ones are ~57mm diameter - measured at the skinniest part of the 'waist' (I bought a new set recently).

[groucho]

I wold say the bigger ones are for a V8 petrol, But i stand to be corrected.

The series were all the same size

[BigJon]

I thought 2.25 petrol and diesel were essentially the same block? Which would mean the same mounts...

[groucho]

The diesel had square mounts the petrol had round mounts
The diesel has more vibration..

*shrugs*

The set of 2 I purchased were clearly different and marked 'engine' and 'gearbox'

[dullbird]

the ones we have for gearbox and engine mounts are different in diameter gearbox being slightly smaller

Why it doesn't give me part numbers????

[wrinklearthur]

The diesel had square mounts the petrol had round mounts
The diesel has more vibration..
ditto

you can use the petrol mounts temporarily, they will have a life expectancy of about 12 months under the diesel.

there isnt that much difference in the weight of the diesel to the petrol with most of the components being the same.

From memory there is also an orientation on some of the non OEM units, they have a "catch lip" built into them so that if the rubber completely collapses the mounts will go metal on metal and catch without the sump hitting the diff.

hey, its not a setback, its a learning opportunity.

FWIW I use 110/V8 county mounts in my IIA (2.25D and box). You need to trim the corners off a couple as they are larger diameter, however they work well and last a long time IME.

Ignore Dave... (I do ;) ) he seems to be inhaling too much avtur these days...


As groucho said - diesel mounts on a petrol will be fine. Possibly more NVH (but it is a series) - AND they should last longer.

thanks a lot for your help guys much appreciated :)
