'54 S1 86" Gearbox Mounts

[cjc_td5]

Does anyone know where I can source gearbox mounting rubbers for a '54 S1? I am after a set (2) of the two piece ones. FWD in Vic said they cannot get any for love nor money:(

If they are not available, what does one do (get a block of rubber and start whittling??)

Cheers,

Each year at the Bendigo swap meet there is a retailer selling rubber bits, light mounts, engine mounts etc. For the last 3 years he has had sets of mounts off some thing that are the same as the lower large cone bit with bolt, washers and nut the top bit is a little different but looks like it would do. I have only one set left and meant to buy some last year.
Can’t remember the name of the retailer will try to find out.

I saw a range of mounts that looked like it might include a suitable one for the gearbox in a catalogue for Dunlop Industrial Sales, many years ago now. But you might try an engineering supply firm with a good range, they could be available for general machine mounting

[groucho]

Try Mackay Industries. They make a large range of rubber mounts for a lot of applications. They used to have something close .

**edit**

Heres the catalog from there website. Look at page 58

Are these the type of rubber mounts that you are looking for?

[Lost Landy]

Hey Aron where did you get them from? and do they have any more???

[back_in]

Hi
do not cut your wrist's
any mount that has a similar cross section will do the job
there are 100's of profiles out there that will do the same job
just make sure it is similar in hardness

I may have a spare let lying around.

For those that are still interested, I will soon be fitting a set of my pictured mounts to my 80". I will let you know how well they fit. I will have some spare that will be available.

Side Valve Ford V8 engine mounts are very similar .. 1930's to 40's . Beware of cheap imitations that don't last very long :o Some of them have a metal ring around the outside circumference of the rubber, this adds extra support and is well worth it

[chris1983rangie]

thats what i got on my 55 those mounts from the Ford Flat V8 model with the ring around it i used them for my Gearbox.
I bought them from a Hot Rod shop in the US.
ill see if i can find their website, but im sure if you ring a Aussie hot rod shop they would probably have em too!

Apart from the bolt (which on our '57 88" is 7/16 BSF and not stepped) the mount looks very similar to the ones I received today from MR. I will have to ask them where they sourced them from.

[numpty]

Woops:) Just had a look at the new mounts and the bolt is stepped. It would seem that what was on Leon was wrong and has been for a long time.

Learning all the time.:cool:

[chris1983rangie]

yeah you right about the stepped bolts the ones on mine are straight with a nylock at the end, ill see if i can find a pic i took before i installed them on the landy caus i remember they were not stepped bolts! does it matter?

[Lost Landy]

While I was dismantling a 86" S1 I had a look at the orginal mounts for the gear box & there is a BSF threaded bolt with a castled nut & split pin going through both mounts I went & had a look at my 5 other parts series 1s and found the same bolt & nut set up on 3 more Landys.
