hi all, in the middle of converting my 2.5td with a 300tdi and was wondering if anyone knows of a place where i can buy the engine mounts for the chassis. If it comes to the worst i can fabricate them, but would rather not have the welder out in the rain as i dont have a garage.
thanks
andy

You're going to have to cut them from an old chassis I reckon.

rang some breakers today, they want 50 quid plus vat just to grind them off. i told them bog off [-X think i may just have to wait till tuesday so i can get some angle iron. bloody bank holidays

to be fair it does render the chassis a bit useless once you cut them off. what about speaking to some of the repro chassis manufacturers???

Get some angle iron mate and just cut/drill to size. Thats what i did instead of the proper ones which i cut off the original chassis. Much easier and stronger in my opinion. Did mine outside aswell in the frost (just stuck a sheet over the welder and made sure i was well insulated).

cheers guys, decided to make the drivers side one out of the original engine mount. and the left out of a bit of box setion. will upload some picks of the build when its done all finished
