It's well shot like everything in this sadly. I am out of cash now beyond my
paint budget that's it's now sadly. No new rad or tyres right size.
Ive sourced mounts for tomorow thankfully. I can weld ( been sick of it is a
reason for a quantum in alot of ways haha)
I'll have to mod it to suit
Tbh when the Q were designed 40 yrs ago the parts were plentiful new from
ford and they do last a very long time, even now OEM generally don't put

The rubber is moulded around the metalwork when the mount is made, no way of
making it removable.
And as Chris said, it wasn’t possible to use the Ford mount unmodified on the

Someone needs to change this design as the mounts are hard to come by and the
idea of them needing such modification when so rare seems silly. I amazed it
was so poorly designed that the rubber inserts where
No the rubber parts do not remove normally. The top upper engine mount require
a couple of modifications.
It requires one of the tabs cutting off and a small extension welding onto the
bottom of the mount so the lower mounting hole is moved onto the welded
extension piece.
The mounts were
We used rivnuts on the rad mounting flange, needed a couple of holes drilling
in the rad flange but plenty big enough and nice thick alloy on airtec rad, so
the mounting bolts can be accessed from the engine bay side doing away the need
to try and get hands inside the nose cone area.
