Can't you use the brackets from the original series 1 engine? I put a 200tdi into my Lightweight and all of the mounting points are the same on the tdi engine as the 2.25 (petrol or diesel, the blocks are pretty much identical). I didn't have to fabricate any engine mounts, just used the originals bolted straight onto the tdi block. I don't know how different series 1 engines are but am aware that people used to fit later series 3 engines into them quite easily, so must be similar still I would imagine.

I think the 200tdi is compatible with the original mounts (300tdi and later is not).
When I fitted the 2286cc engine in my 86" many years ago, I use the original 2-litre mounts which bolted straight onto the block and lined up perfectly. A 200tdi should do the same. Later on, when I replaced the chassis with a new galvanised one I had Serires 3 type mounts fitted on the chassis, and converted both engine and gearbox mounts to the later type. This was done mainly because by then it was getting hard to get the original Series 1 type rubber bushes, whilst the Series 3 type bonded rubber mounts were common as muck (the later mounts are also more likely to hold on to the engine and gearbox in the even of a rollover than the S1 mounts, which was a consideration since at the time I RTV trialled the vehicle). |

Hi guys - thanks for the replies. I'm asking as I have no mounts at all at the moment.
The series 1 80 has flat mounts - whereas the later series have the angles mounts. If the 2l series 1 mounts work that would be brilliant - though I've no idea where I'd get some. So anything anyone has would be considered at the moment !? |
