engine mounts on mk1 transit diesel

[walker tranny]

l,ve got l reg 1972 transit diesel l am go to put a new 25 di in it but the engine mounts are diffrent will mk3 one fit ie the whole mount that bolt on to the side of the chassie or will l have to get later mk1 ones

i think yours will be the same as mine - the bit that bolts onto the mk3 chassis will unbolt and weld onto the mk1 chassis rail - it will be the correct width you just need to get front to back position correct

[walker tranny]

so will the two bolt under the chassis bolt on and the top one have to be welded

[Luke]

erm not sure - i know the top needs welding cos i remember doing it i dont remember bolting it on tho to do a pukka job there is a bit on the top of the rail that sticks out on the mk3 that you'd have to weld on extra but its fine without it

what i'd do is bolt the engine and box up in position with the mounts on and offer it in place - if you can pick up on any bolts then do so but at least that way it will be in the right position

hi if you can get ones from a 76/77 mark one these will bolt straight on and be suitable, you can use 2.4 or 2.5 engine brackets with these, there are different rubber heights/ thicknesses throughout the years.
