MK R1 engine cradle bolts?
Hi, does anyone have a list of the bolts they used to fit the R1 cradle to the engine and chassis?
Thanks,
Steven.

I don't know the MK set up, but on my 05 engine the top two head mounts are M12 and 1.25 pitch.
It is the pitch that is a problem because standard M12 is 1mm pitch.
The two rear engine mounts are not threaded but holes which are 10.98mm dia.
I got some 11mm rod and put 10mm threads each end and used emery cloth to reduce the diameter.
Jap threads are a PITA !

Thanks for that, the two top head mounts on mine are M10 1.25P but the cradle is machined for M12. I will source some M10x60 steel bolts for them and
put bushes in to fill the space in the cradle as i am not keen on tapping out the casing.
I will use your idea of some 7/16 rod and thread the ends for the 2 rear mounts.
Cheers.
