Universal Type Engine and Gearbox Mounts

Morning All!

I’m almost ready to fit the engine and gearbox into my project. Ford Zetec with Mazda ‘box.

The last time, I used some universal type engine and gearbox mounts from a now defunct hot-rod supplier.

Is there somewhere else that I can buy them from?

Recommendations appreciated.

Thanks!

What Mazda box ?

There is a guy called Lee Butcher that makes an adjustable mount for the Rx8 box.
There are a few guys that make Engine side plates.

I've used round poly engine mounts,think they are land rover ones.

For the gearbox one I drilled and tapped the underside of the box,fitted a helical into it then the mount screws straight into bottom of box.
So then you just need to make a mount plate up to go between the chassis in tunnel.
I used 3mm plate,then welded that into chassis.
