The left side engine mount, the triangular aluminum part, on my B20f in a '74 145e cracked off the front and top bolts which hold it to the engine block, allowing the engine to sit on the crossmember. The back/bottom bolt hole is still okay.
Has anyone had any luck using a right angle drill to drill out the studs and easy-out them? Is there such a thing as a left hand extracting drill bit? Seems like they wouldn't be bottomed out, but they might have bent a little before they broke.
Temporarily, I fabbed a 2 inch mild steel link that supports it from the old fuelpump mount, by drilling out the back of the mount to accomodate a bolt head, and bolting it to the link and then to the fuel pump mount.
Other than that, I'm still moving parts off the old '73 145e. Those who responded about the D-jet parts, I'm getting there.
And I have to replace the heater fan. No fun.
But it is a great driver.
