Re: Early front engine mount. Reply #1 – May 31, 2023, 06:54:48 PM I’m afraid I don’t know so can’t give you an answer. But I’m tempted to say I doubt it at the front panel arrangement of a mk1 and 2 are very different.Can you use one of the parts catalogue sites to check and cross reference?

Re: Early front engine mount. Reply #4 – June 02, 2023, 05:21:24 PM Hi, afraid to say they are different mounts, although both front, central of engine they have different brace brackets and bushes, seem to recall the bush on the mk1 was held in place by tension between the male and female bracket whilst the 84 mk2’s were held in place by an inner bush plus mounting bracket which bolted into a retaining bracket, so more of a complicated design.Hope helps 1 Likes

Trying to find a early front central mount will be a challenge I really would like to keep it original and not go hydro mount.
