Pinto engine mounts

Can anyone give me a dimension from the base plate on the engine mount to the centre of the four bolt holes that fit to the engine ??
Also, what type of rubber mounts do you use ??
Cheers....Andy

I used the Luego engine mounts and the standard capri engine rubber mounts.

But i did end up elongating the 4 holes to get the engine to sit down by about 8mm

I can't promise to be able to measure them for you as i am up to my neck in work but i will try.

Hi Phil, would be great if you get time to measure them, i need the dimesion of the metal part not including the rubber mounts.

Out of curiosity, why did you have to lower the engine mount holes ? was it due to oil filler cap hitting bonnet ?

Cheers....

Yes it was and even with them lowered looks like it's going to be a pig to get the oil filler cap out.

May have to modify the lip if the nose cone slightly.
