Land Rover engine mount question
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi,
I will order the Land Rover engine rubber mount. i found 2 models on internet. Could you please tell me which one is closest in size to the Sierra ones or which ones are recommended for the Roadster, I don't know anything about these kind of vehicles, and I know there are a lot of Land Rover specialists among you :)

If you can identify them, could you please give me a complete model name and year of the Land Rover they fit on, so I can easily order them from a car parts retailer.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for the replies.
Do you know the exact model name and years of Land Rover they are for? It would be much easier for me to order them with these informations.
Thank you very much.

The V8 Discovery mark 1 and V8 Defender engine mounts are the same design...

Sorry for the late rely, I'm struggling with having a propshaft done, aluminium oil sump welded, and steering column extended, so I've been busy on other battles :p

Regarding these engine mounts, first, thank you very much for the replies and the links, very helpful.

But now, I am wondering if it will be a good idea to use them finally, considering they are 45mm lower then the Sierra ones, which will drastically reduce my ground clearance if I don't change anything to the chassis engine mount boxes (EM plates), or make my own engine support to replace the original cast ones (and I would like to avoid such a thing).

Now, with the shorten oil sump, the MT75's bell housing bottom part ground as much as possible, and the 80mm high Sierra rubber mounts, the sump sticks out 35mm under the bottom rail, which is good. With the Land rover rubber mounts, it will be 80mm under the bottom rail, which looks way too much.

On another hand, it will be good if I could lower the engine a little, because it looks like the big air intake manifold will be difficult to fit under any bonnet the way it is now.

So I'm waiting for my oil sump to come back from the welder and will make new "simulations".

Thanks again.

Hi,
Could anyone who has Landrover engine mounts tell me the length of the threaded rods/studs whatever you called them?
Thank you very much.
