Does anyone know where I can get another one of these (standard style)?

If there's a spacer to raise the engine a touch to get the manifolds up and away from the chassis tubing I'm interested too smile

I thought the spacer that's fitted on the R/H mounting was because of an offset with Chassis.

When replacing engine mountings on mine I used the trick of taking the weight of the engine on a jack, raising it then nipping up mounting bolts before then releasing the engine onto them, I still have a good 10-12 mm gap two years and many thousands of miles later smile

Talk to Powers Performance, Andy in parts will have something is expect.

I make mine simply by cutting them out of a sheet of 5mm ali with a 4" grinder and a file. Half hour on the vice in the work shop for a flashy pair.

Would some of these be any good? Choose the size you want, ID and OD in 5mm thicknesses.

Sorry, no.
You want a plate that will spread the load across the whole of the mount back face.

Yes, have jacked up already but even on full tilt the o/s manifold is about 5mm off the chassis. Then after a few months it drops a couple of mm and it starts to knock as the engine rocks. Am just near Power anyway so will give Andy a call later.

Is that with new mountings as well?
I think racetech sell them
