Zetec Engine Mounts
smdl - 4/2/07 at 05:46 AM

I am in the process of building mounts using 3mm plate bolted to the engine and welded to 2" square 3mm wall tubing down to the chassis (where is sits on a rubber mount). What I am wondering is if 3mm plate for the engine flange is enough, or if I should be using something like 6mm plate?

Thanks,
Shaun

Well, it looks like 3mm has been used successfully.

Onward!
