Hi Julian,
That’s not a standard Fiesta mounting.
There should be 2 mounts underneath the gearbox going into the cradle front and
rear.
And for a proper Zetec install, 2 mounts on the left (from the front) side of
the engine connecting to the chassis rail.
One goes onto the bracket sticking out from the vertical rail and the other is
further foward.
On the early H4 the Zetec front mounting holes were not fitted to the chassis
rail and some cars were just made with the rear top mount (this lets the engine
mover too much) or a modified CVH mount instead (this is ok).
I will find some pictures.
Strangely i’m sure i have seen on H4 with a tiebar as you describe, somebody
must have had trouble with the engine moving too much front / rear.
Jim

Hi
If you could send me photos and dimensions I may very well be interested. The
engine in mine is a 2L silver top zetec. The mounting is from the inlet side
roughly in the middle of the car (L/R) and it runs from the mount on the engine
back to the stiffener bar which runs between the tops of the suspension
turrets. I do plan to go out and measure it up later today but from memory it
is about 150 - 200mm long with short tubes at each end, the tubes being about
40-50mm long and about 30 ish mm diameter.
Take that with a pinch of salt! But if it's anything similar it's worth seeing
if it's a match. It would make sense if it was an original part, but who knows.
I've got enough on my hands, never mind nowhere to put it, to be able to
consider taking on a second car or indeed keeping a donor. But I wish you well
either sorting it or passing it on. They are fun for sure.

There's someone with a Wanted Ad on Ebay after an H4 at the moment - It looks
like your may be too much work for him, but maybe a sale possibility?

Hi, Julian,
Which engine do you have and on which side is the mounting in question?
I have an H4i with the 1.6 Zetec engine, a unit that had been installed,
before I bought the car, to replace an earlier 1.6 engine in order to offer
power steering. Unfortunately, the engine was put in by goblins using hammers;
it was a tight fit and, I discovered on taking a sharp left-hand bend, lacked
an engine mount on the near side connecting the engine to the chassis,
resulting in a very alarming noise as an exposed pulley came into contact with
the lower chassis member and tried to chew its way through it.
I obtained the correct engine mounting in good condition from a scrapped
MkIII Fiesta but never got around to fitting it before garaging the car with a
view to sorting out a number of small problems pre-MoT test. That was three
years ago! Consequently, I'm now the owner of a pre-barn-find blue Quantum
H4i, a treasure trove of spare parts such as full light sets (time two, since
an earlier MkIII was stripped to feed it and that had all lights intact as
well), new and unfitted front wishbones, new front and rear shocks (rear
fitted, never used, front in box) . . . A real boys' Christmas morning of
delights!
If the engine mount might be of interest, let me know. If the rest of the
car has appeal, I might be open to offers (since I'd really not like it to go
for cannibalisation to feed a Fiesta MkIII).
Cheers!

Hi
The H4 has a stabilising bar from the chassis frame to the top of the
engine. It has just given up. I thought I'd just check to see if there was a
chance replacements might be available before having this remade.
The bushes are showing their age but not yet scrap. So I'd be interested
in replacing the whole lot if that is possible.
A vain hope I suspect, but worth a shot.
Thanks
Incidentally the hoses in my H4 were pretty poor and some bodged. A full
correct correct set was no longer available, one of the most complex shapes
being essentially custom. I had that one properly sorted so the moulds now
exist for it which makes it possible to source a complete set if anyone is
interested.
