Hi,

I'm building a 144 for a long distance rally and I've been told - often - that the engine mounts (including the stronger 164 mounts) are designed so that, on impact, the mounts split so the engine can slide safely out of the way. This design means that under rally conditions the mounts may just give way on a heavy bump or similar. I will chain the mounts anyway, but thought mounts like Landcruiser ones that have the top and bottom plates bend over so they catch each other on extreme movements would be good.

If you search ebay for "HJ75 engine mount" you'll see what I mean.

Does anybody know if there is anything like this that would fit on a 144/B20?

Regards

JohnH
