I have just bought a replacement 110 chassis which has engine mounts for 2.5 n/a Diesel. I want to fit a 300TDi engine. I have been told that the engine mounts can be fabricated with 2 inch angle iron. Does anyone know the measurements to position these mounts and at what position they should be. Pictures would be a great help. I have been told that the best way is to fit gearbox to the crossmember and then position the engine to work out position however I am still waiting for a gearbox and the crossmember and the engine mounts need fixing soon so the chassis can get galvanised.

Is all their details
I think its a bit pricey but then again within 30mins I had cut the mounts off and welded on the new ones so on reflection the extra cost is a bargain!!!!

cant get any worse seriously, :evil: im realy at the end of my lenght with the motor as its been an uphill struggle all the way & now its not any better than the car it was replacing,had loads of comments about how it sits on the 750's & the new springs but tyhe engine has really let me down

Oh dear mate, what a nightmare. Cheer up matey, been there several times with my hybrid. Felt like ditching it many times but its days like the weekend gone when she flew makes it all worthwhile! :wink:

As Hobbit said, Stormdancer had it done, give Tony a call at Shyre 4x4 in Bridlington, he the one who did it. talking to him the other day over a fuel leak, it cost about £400 in extra bits to get it right.

Do you want the template bud? That will show you the position a treat. Just bolt it to the steering holes and weld to your hearts content.
I lent it out for a tenner last week juts really to cover postage etc and just in case gets damaged, its there if you want it and you wont need gearbox etc.

got my tdi sorted now,tweaked the pump timing manually to day & its made a world of difference
