Posts: 3,273 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Project sharkbait ![]() For the record, The front engine/gearbox mount for a Cinq is often majorly, majorly difficult to come by and expensive (iirc £60 for that mount on its own), it's a totally different design to the sei (one of the few things that is). Mine was very tired and when i tried to take it off (to stiffen with tiger seal anyway), all the bolts snapped. Ended up having to just refurb the old mount with the aid of a dremel, paint, new bolts and tiger seal. If you're going for all new mounts, i recommend firing up google translate and going on to Unto.pl. Postage is of course the big barrier BUT if you're ordering a few things, they tend to work out a lot cheaper because the cost of the items themselves are so much cheaper. For example i ordered a lot of things i couldn't get in the UK for the conversion, like new hoses, sensors, magnetti marelli leads and the likes and the entire order plus postage came in at £10 less than the cheapest i could get a decent aftermarket set of leads in the UK. From memory of the translate, any sort of connector is translated as a tendon, and mounts are translated as pillows :lol: :laugh: |
