Thread: Passenger side bracket?

I would give you one, but it is buried sooo deep in my storage container it would take 2 days to find it.
Try Bearman on here, or ring klr or the likes.

I don't quite know which bracket you are referring to, but can you fabricate one from sheet metal ?

It's the metal bracket that bolts to the engine and the motor mount on tje left, passenger side. I can get the dimensions from my perenties, but as for the grade of steel, etc. I am afraid machining it would end up failing.

I'm posting a few photos for reference.

Also posting the entry from the parts manual - it matches the one noted as 2-1 in the picture and table.

Having just measured its thickness I doubt it's anything but 6 mm mild steel. And your's in the photo appears to be plated right across the back, whereas mind is open as per diagram.(Edit: mine came direct from an Isuzu NPR and not a LRover. Difference accounted for?)

Take your dimensions to someone who can draw it in a CAD program that can unfold the drawing to get the stencil shape, or do it with pencil and protractor, then off to a fabricator.

It's embossed either side for strength, which might be hard to do, so weld some webbing in its place.

Alternatively, two pieces welded together, first is a plate right across covering the four bolts, the second (being the stand off) either bashed to shape from 6mm ribbon, or cut from suitably sized box pipe or channel.

Go a bit thicker if in doubt.

One of the forum retailers was talking of making some chassis engine mounts, so might be able to knock up an engine block bracket.

Taking the time to look at it more closely today, it looks like pretty standard 1/4", so I may now have two options. 1) we can take an existing NPR mount and cut it down to match the 110's angle and frame bolt position or 2) if needed, reverse engineer from the existing bracket from one of the other tricks, build a jig, model and produce a final. Grandpa and Dad both worked significant amount of time in machine shops, but i have not so if i go to #2 it will be experimental if I do it. Thank you all for the input and advice.
