Gearbox mount

[merky300]

I have just noticed that the gearbox mount is split in half (S3, type 9 gearbox, removable cross member).
Does anyone know what the mount is off?
Are there any alternatives/suppliers other than Ford?
It's the same mount as in johnnywgk photo a couple of posts earlier.

Thanks

Tony

HI Tony, i wouldn't have thought it was from another car, i think if you take it off, you could get it welded. I must also say, i'm shocked it broke, that's a
seriously thick bit of metal.

On another note, i'm unemployed again, and know a fabricator, who is also
unemployed, got this idea off Norman, (Geraldtvr) having stuff like stainless
bonnet hinges made up, Etc. there are lots of parts my friend could make using parts from my car, beer money for him, cheepo parts for me, ahem us.

But the clever little forker, knows his stuff, and is heavely into old Lambrettas.

You think our front indicators are rare, huh, your avin a larf....

As soon as he gets a bit quite, i'll see if he's up for it. Then when i take a bit off my car, get him to do a template, obviously slighly different to
avoid copyright, if that exists.

Anyway, i'll post if i have anything to offer, at reasonable prices. (watch this space).

Its the rubber that has split. The mount is a metal plate witha V'ish shaped rubber insert which the gearbox sits in.The rubber attaches to the plate on two sides. The rubber has a full length split down one side.

The mount is a standard type 9 gearbox mount that IIRC fits sierra and capri, I bought mine from Rally Design, but they only seem to list the competition spec one now - give them a ring and ask it cost about £15 whereas the competition one is over 40
