Frame Motor Mounts Wanted

[zayante]

Does anyone have a rusty old frame with good motor mounting points they'd be willing to sell? Mine were cut off as part of a Scotty/GM 4 conversion, and I'd like to go back to the original mount points. The retrofit works, but it's a bit dodgy. I wouldn't need the whole frame...

I had this same problem on my 109. I couldn't find a set either. What I did was to put the transmission in (bolted in place with the rubber mounts). Then I bolted the engine to the transmission. Next I bolted the rubber mounts onto the engine mounts and lowered the engine to the possition where the mounts seemed most likey. Pictures help here (get some pictures of the mounts). The left mount (driver's side) is fairly easy as it only takes three pieces of sheet metal welded together. The passenger mount is a little more difficult, because of the step in it.

One other thing,

Make sure that the transmission rubber mounts are not twisted in any way when you get ready to do the final weld on of the mounts.

Oh yeah, and the best thing to do is make the mounts up, bolt them to the rubber pads on the engine and then weld them in place.

Thanks, jp- I think I have a line on a right hand mount point. It would be great to be able to make a pattern from an actual chassis for the left side if I need to fabricate it.

Let me know if yo still need this. My old Frame (or my new one) has a set and on my New frame i have to grind them off anyways to mount the MB engine. So i will have at least 1 set
