bishbosh Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Does anyone know if you can get the chassis mounts for a 200TDi Disco as replacement parts? I mean the metal bit that is welded to the chassis, not the rubber that the engine sits on. When I did the diseasel conversion it would appear that the engine mounts (salvaged from the donor vehicle's chassis) ended up being welded on about an inch too far backwards which has resulted in some prop issues. I think I will have to pull the drivetrain out in the new year and relocate the engine mounts. I could try and salvage the existing ones but I am a bit concerned that as they have already been salvaged once that a second time may be the death of them. If I can buy weld in replacements that would be best. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try these bods... they only sell to distributors, but will be able to give you a yay or nay about if they are available. I know just before we went away they started doing all sorts of new bits. http://www.spi-europe.co.uk/home1.htm Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull Bar Cowboy Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I thought the 200TDI mounts were much the same as the V8 mounts .............. maybe a slightly different angle, but it would be easy to fettle the V8 mounts from DC to change the angle.

landrover598 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I've just finish your mounts Bish and Les, once they've cooled down a bit, i'll throw some red lead on them. I'll post them to you in the new year, as they'll only get lost over xmas Can you send me your addresses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutters_unit Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 just to set the record straight desinga do V8, 200tdi, 300tdi, 2 1/4 std mounts, seems strange why they would tell you they dont do them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
