My new V8 engine mounts

Evening Gents,

The fruits of today's labours.

I realise they're probaby massively over engineered but I'm a simple chef and was working on the better safe than sorry theory!

They look well up to the mark, better safe than sorry.

Keep a record od the dims in case someone else might be doing the same thing as yourself, I presume its a Rover V8

Nice and sound - just like the Forth Bridge

My engine mounts are made from 1.5" dia 16swg tube

Sorry to hijack the thread but I have been trying to get hold of Simon via email. I'll drop you a U2U.

Engine mounts look good by the way!!

Cheers,
Craig.

Nice sturdy looking mounts, shouldn't have any problem with them cracking!

If you haven't done so you might want to drill a drain hole in the bottom plate so the box section doesn't fill up with water.
