I've got V8 spec engine rubbers on my Tdi now - they are the same physical size, just a softer rubber compound - or have I misunderstood the question?!

nickm Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 are the v8 brackets the same as the 200tdi brackets then for some reason i thought they were different and had to weld on new chassis mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Designa Chassis will sell you a pair of universal mounts, or you could bend some tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I think we need to be clear which vehicle we are talking about here. From first hand experience I can tell you that RR V8 chassis mounts are definately not the same as Discovery 200TDi chassis mounts. I can also confirm that, other than Landrover598, I could not find any source of weld on engine mounts for the above. For the first transplant I cut the mounts off the donor chassis. For the second transplant I shall be using DaveBUILT® items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the second transplant I shall be using DaveBUILT® items I know the V8 ones are different to the tdi ones (I also cut them out of a tdi disco chassis to use) theres a company that supply actual brackets that bolt to the engine on a isuzu diesel that sit on the V8 chassis mounts was trying to find somewhere that done a similar thing for the 200tdi rather than cutting the chassis any pics of these DaveBUILT ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 They look exactly like the disco ones that Land Rover make, only made out of digger buckets rather than tin foil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
