Bortaf - Help needed - AGAIN

[SmokeEm]

bortaf - My engine mounts are knackered but as my truck is a 'Bitsa' I cannot find what type I need!

Ebay lists some that 'Look' similar but say for a 2.0l, not 2.8/9. 

O/S one is this..



And nearside is this - Partial part no I can see is 88TF-60 98-A




Can you help with part numbers or suppliers? I will pay the £120 or so if I have to, but don't want to buy the wrong ones!

Are they different each side? Are they same as Sierra Cosworth? Basically..........Hellllllllllllpppppppppppppppp

Same item as the 2.0 one you mention, all 2wd except early mk1 use the same type mount, the early car uses the 4wd type, 4wd cars use a complete different type of mount which bolts on top of the crossmember.

if it looks like this one it will be right for you

This is the 4wd type for comparison, notice how different it is

P100 mounts are differant to car ones they sit an inch higher to take into account the lowerd from Xmember so unless you have removed the spacers and raised the Xmember you need P100 ones
S/H try clarkestons on ebay he is a P100 breaker in southend (Nr the airport)
if you have removed the spacers between the Xmember and the chassis any 2WD mount will fit as said, what's up with yours, collapsed? they dam fluid filled ones do, usually the pass side as that's the side that lifts when you rev the engine and it twists in the chassis.

bortaf - How will I know if X Member spacers are fitted? I do have a pair of 38mm alloy spacers fitted to the centre ARB mounting points which space the ARB away from the Exhausts. If I remove them, they sit on the downpipes. Mine have been sat with the full weight of the V6 on them for 8yrs + and look shot. 

Hopefully, std 2wd ones will fit?

Ideally want new ones. They could be just as bad as mine if what Bortaf says. Thanks for link though.

I have that in my watch list. Wish he had a pair!

Will wait for Bortaf's reply on the spacers and then hopefully order up a set from Ford dealer. Thank you for link 

[bortaf]

Where the Xmemeber bolts up to the chassis (in the wheel arch above the TCA inner mount) look see if you have spacers there between the Xmember and the chassis, they are usually the first thing to get removed to lower the front end but i don't know whats been done to your truck so check first
If no spacers then use normal car mounts as suggested above

[SmokeEm]

Great Bortaf, thank you.

[SmokeEm]

No spacers so these should work? Happy days

Was presuming the spacers have already disappeared going from his front ride height, that's why I missed the P100 mounts out of the equation

I doft my cap to your knowledge guys. Save me £60 too as I have sourced a pair for £68
