Technical Engine Mounts - before you start!

[Louie Bee]

Hi All,

I thought it had been too long EDIT: before you start get need new nyloc nuts!

The bolt which goes through the front engine mount snapped. Lack of WD40 I think is the cause :bang: I have fitted a temporary bolt till I find a suitable replacement. I won’t be driving her till a proper one is fitted

I didn’t bother photographing before I started. Since the lower bits fell out, I’m not sure of the order to refit .

:chin: When I do refit, should there be some play when fully tightened? Before I removed it the lower bump stop was free to shake around – and at idol, sounded like a bell ringing till I damped it with some electrical tape.

This is the old front engine mount (from underneath) :-

:wave: Might anyone know it the not and bolt is a FIAT only part? I will prob. miss Brooklands my local FIAT garage are too slow :bang:

Regards All,

Cheers Bushboy! I have all 3 engine mounts brand new - I’m only after the bolt(s).

My setpdad tells me the bolt is a Nyloc type with a shoulder – so should really be renewed with exactly the same part, which Shop 4 Parts don’t carry. I will try the guys in Diss next. There is a good chance they will have one in, and I can fit Friday. I will prob. also have a walk around the local garaged to see if they have one in stock. The FIAT part number will be useful for ordering!

Hmm I wonder if Gaz is up for staying Saturday Night in Brixton and herring us DJ some nasty Drum N Bass – Else I’d be stranded in London?

I was planning on calling in on Uno Bianca In Kent after that so I really need to be on the road.

Regards All,

Re: Engine Mounts/Miss Brooklands?

i can give u the bolt out of mine if u give me ur temp one lol... that way the engine will still stay up lol

Re: Engine Mounts/Miss Brooklands?

LOL my temp one is 1” too short, and is only just holding with no washer.

I got it from a general hardware store for 50p, as my car was blocking the drive as front end now too low to jack else where

Would be really good if you could post it just in case.

Re: Engine Mounts/Miss Brooklands?

Belated up date.

I went to my local FIAT dealer this morning – they said they can get the part in for Tomorrow

If not, I’ve been recommended an engineering firm in Stretford for a tempered steal bolt.

foc = 3 of charge? I’d like the sound of that

Cheers for the help Guys!

Just wondering what happened to the bolt’s shoulder
