Apparently may van being a 78 1600 should have mounts like this on the chassis legs What my bus has is this
Nope no markings on them at all and as you say too well made to be homebrew There not as substantial as the other ones though which is my concern Ive not seen them like this before and early bays have different ones again and a different bar
Looks like there's been something meaty in the back of your bus previously as they're overkill for the weight of your 1600 mate!!!
The rubber mount part is the same as it should be The steel part of the mount however is in two seperate pieces and id say its nowhere as near as strong as what should be there
Pmsl id started to strip them down to paint them when that nagging doubt that somthing wasent right Popped into the back of my head
They look like absolutely stock mounts for a 78 1600. Mine are exactly the same. Your upper pic is for a type 4 engine?
Cheers guys ill get them painted up I must have seen a lot of busses with the wrong or aftermarket mounts fitted then
Yep. The dirty ones are stock for your engine application. the photo if the new ones are type 4. Type 4 hangers are fixed and solid with the rubber mount located on the front of the crankcase.
I am really glad that this has been tidyed up as I thought I needed the type 4 mounts on my van but, now I know, I can look for some like the ones paradox has as mine is a bog standard 1600. But, I am guessing they are even harder to find than the type 4 ones. Oh well another quest to find the Holy Grail I guess!!
I have many versions of the Holy Grail residing in my shed. A bit like Indiana Jones you are free to chose the one you think will suit...
This is actually a type 1 one... The type 4 ones look exactly the same, but the gap between the 2 plates, where the engine bar goes, is smaller/narrower!!
