[usafstud]

Hi guys,

I need help getting a rear engine mount by the hood. The only source for part in the states is mr fiat and they dont sell it. I am more then welling to paypal some one money if this is something you can only get in a junk yard.

Thanks

Frank,
Is this the bit you need?
I don't have a spare - sorry.

Try these guys - they are in the UK but have an eBay shop that stocks lots of new and used parts (the photo came from their website).

They take PayPal and post internationally.

Do you have any of the engine mount parts or is it totaly missing ?
I may be able to source a spare one or parts.

Hi Frank;
Ricambifiat500-spareparts here in the UK have an engine mount for sale on their site--it's a used part, but better used than nowt. Their phone number (UK) is:- 07946-475756. Don't forget the spring-a variety of people sell the springs including 'Van Der Laan Fiat 500 Parts' (they are very easy to deal with--very proper). Are you aware that the rear engine mount from a 126 (I think you had them imported as Nikki's) will fit; as far as I can tell, the only difference are the 2 vertical studs-they are of different lengths. Hope this helps

I live in the US so no Nikki's here. I'm away for work so i'll have to call them in a week to get a price quote.

Frank,
I looks like you will have to search around for a secondhand engine mount - I'm sure that there are plenty around.
As to the 126 mount, yes it does fit but first is has to be removed from the 126 transom and then welded to the 500 transom at the correct height. I've attached a copy of instructions from the South Australian Bambino site at

Do you know why the original one fractured ?

Good luck,
Chris

Fractured from over tightening the bolt.
