Weird request:

Can someone get a decent side on photo of the passenger (timing) side mount? The 3sx poly one I have won't fit (~1cm out) and no amount of prying will move it against the other side mount. I think it's been rotated too far & staked but my stock one is in 2 pieces and doesn't really provide the best example

Does that help?

I remember this issue. i think you need to put all the bolts in and slowly do them up. Alternating between both upper mounts. I think anyway.

Sorta, it looks like the bolt is directly in the centre vertically. Mine's off to one side.

Thats what I thought but its too far out to move the engine enough. It is towards the outside so I'm working against the poly on the other side. Maybe once I crack the rear mount it'll help I'm 99% sure I'll need to change the poly insert.

3sx will sell you just the insert for $38

i'v got my mount out at the moment so i'll take a pic when i get to my warehouse later today

*bump* any luck with that mount? I've gotten everything off and the 4 mount bolts loose for the rear, can't crack the pin though. Bastard is rusty. Getting one of these Makita BTW450 to make this stuff easier

Sorry Dave, forgot, i'll try to remember tonight

Thats cool mate, if its a pain I'll work around it for now, maybe poly fill the old one temporarily.

I plan on doing this to the old mounts Dave will be giving me. Do you have access to poly?

Not directly, I was going to call a couple of places around brisbane and see what they supply. I'm after about an 80 duro (similar to the 3sx mounts).
