mk2 engine saddle

[stevieD73]

Hi everyone

Ive often come on this site for info on many things transit related so i hope someone can help. I am trying to locate a pair of engine mounts for my 85 transit recovery truck ive decided to put the pinto back in. Ive tried every srapyard within 50mile of me (DERBY) its the saddle that i need ive got the the mounts on the pinto engine so dont need them. I have even thought of making a pair but need dimensions but more importantly the angle where the donuts sit in the mount.

Any help would be greatly recieved
Cheers in advance steve

I'm not sure what you mean by a saddle Stevie.
I think the engine is held up by two rectangular steel pillars that come up at and angle from the chassis, however: -

The angle where the donut mounts on the saddle is the same as the angle where it mounts on the engine.
Or, more precisely, it's the reciprocal.

If you cut and drill the relevant plates and bolt them to the mounts,
bolt the mount to the engine,
then hang the engine where you want it
I reckon you should be able to fabricate the rest to fit easily enough.

Since the mounts are rubber, you won't need to line up perfectly.
Best to get the front of the engine in the middle though.

Hi there

Yeah ive got the pillars with donuts on the engine but it is the chasis mounts that the donuts sit on that i need.
I think fabrication may well be the only option i have but i will give it another a week or so to see if i can find some before going down that road.

Thanks for reply

not sure what you mean either but the mounting bolt holes will be there on the chassis. The mounting points could be moved. Is the truck originally petrol?

[stevieD73]

Yes m8 it was petrol and the bolts holes are there.

The saddle i am talking about is P/No 6182863 i have found some through ford but there in denmark.
Oh the joys of owning a old transit.

Thanks for the replies

What's stopping you putting the engine where you want it, and joining the dots please Stevie?

Thanks for the replies

I will have to make some i think, it would be nice to put the original ones back on it due to the time i have spent doing it.
Thanks again to evryone that as replied i went on oldskoolford but of course it is not a escort or a capri so no one ever replies.
