Isuzu mounts.

[4bd1]

Just wondering if anybody has some photos handy showing the 4BD1 engine mount configuration on the chassis of a 110.

I've looked at relocating the ones from my Stage1 but they look pretty agricultural and they seem to sit very close to the steering box, also I'd like to check the height on the chassis.

A quick look at a 110 setup will save me doing a lot of measuring etc if I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Cheers

Hi 4bdi
Are you close to Southern Landrover??????
The last 3 times I was in there there were Army 110's getting work done.
Have a chat with George Little in the showroom,he seems quite an aproachable sort of chap,if he isnt busy Im sure he would take you for a "look out back",he loves his Landies.
P.S ARE YOU GOING TO THE 4X4 SWAPMEET ON SUNDAY???????? We are having a bit of a meet up there.

Thanks for the tip Andrew.
Me thinks I'll take a trip to Southern for a bit of a look.

If I'm not working (fingers crossed) I'll head down to the swapmeet.
I see you guys are heading down around 10, so I'll make a point of rolling up around then.
Just so you recognise me, I'll be the one with bleeding knuckels and filthy fingernails.

Cheers

Well, I went down to Southerns, no joy.
They had no military vehicles in.
Had a look at the old micofish but couldn't make anything out.

Went to Barbagalos, they had a mil 110. but it was a Td5.
It was parked outside so I had a look over it anyway. :wink:
Looked pretty much like an accesorised factory hardtop, but still sweet.

I'll keep looking around, but again if somebody has some chassis photos please post.

I know I can fab up some mounts, but something thast looks as close to original as posible would be nice.:wink:

Where are you? I may be able to help with a jig. I'm in Sydney.

I'm in Perth Brad.
About as far from Sydney as possible on mainland Aus. :wink:
Whats the concept of the jig.

I have a few pics of 4BD1 engine mounts from when I did the conversion into my ex v8 county. They are not great pics but you can have them and see if they are any good to you. The RHS one is very very close to the steering box as I recall. Mounts are quite agricultural, I cut them out of the donor vehicle for my car seemed to work OK.

Not sure how to post them on here but if you send me your email address can send them to you that way

cheers

Hi Ken
Hope we BUMP into one another on sunday 8) 8).
A military 110 with TD5 VERY INTERESTING,I thought they were all Isuzu diesels.
Last thing you want when you are out hunting Binladen and his mates out the back of afghanistan is a dicky electronic motor 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O
I wonder if it was some sort of evaluation vehicle???????Ive looked at a few at Southern Landrover,a couple looked very new and they were all Isuzu diesels.

Hi Andrew.

Can't remeber where I got these photos from, (might have been this site),
but it looked the same as this one. ( even down to the missing door on the side locker)

Really noticable, apart from the military accessories, is the side windows are much biger than we are used to seeing on a hardtop.

I noticed the floor on the passenger area had a sign along the lines of 'not a hose down area', so I guess there's no special waterproofing.

Hope to see you Sunday. :wink:

Ken, it bolts on to the shock tower mounts, and aligns the mounts to be welded on to the chassis - designed to work with the mounts that bolt on to the block (but only the ones used for LR - not Isuzu trucks). Means you don't have to lift the engine in to line up everything. The chassis mounts are just 5 or 6mm plate bent to the correct shape (a sort of "C" shape) with internal gussets. On the mount closest to the steering box, weld a nut on the underside for the front bolt - otherwise impossible to get a nut in (yes this is factory too).

Actually, call me on 0412 180 474

Shame I'm not at home, I'm away with work at the moment. I fabed up a set out of six mil plate and welded them up to the chassis. Did take alot of stuffing round, and I suspended the motor over the chassis to weld the mounts in. I've got heaps of pic's of it all but like I say, I'm no where near Darwin at the moment.
Depends how urgent you need to do it, as I get home on the 1st Dec.

Cheers Larns

Thanks to everyone for the help and offers.
Lukes photos and info helped confirm things ( cheers Luke :wink:)

If I can get a break from work this week I'll give you a call Brad.

Thanks again.
