Hi Han, I remember seeing your topic and wondering what the part is... I take it the diff mount is aftermarket as originals not available??

Sierra, not Granada, if you go "used".

Look the same in photos but the Granada one is bigger and won't fit.

It was an Ebay link from Mike, saying "sierra and escort cosworth" . Did not fit it yet but is ok if Mike says so :-)

Now who would be daft enough to clean and paint a Granada one before realising it's too big.......






If you're splashing out on a nice "Poly" rear mount you may as well go all the way

Cheers Mike. I suppose they must be an improvement on the standard rubber ones then?

Hi Tel,
The rubber ones only last about 25 years, and are wobblier than the poly ones.

I don't know why it does that, but if mine does it, I just delete the surplus posts to save paper.

Hi Glen, 'the rubber ones ONLY last 25 years'. Are you 'on' something better than me?;);) I think 25 years more would be fine for me!!!! By that time I certainly do not expect to be worrying about it!!

Any flexible component which lasts 25 years on a car has got to be good.

(Might be worth pointing out that the poly ones have yet to prove they can last anything like 25 years?)

Check those round mounts at the thin metal edge mine were cracked right through.
I don't think they are Ford - probably just a standard compressor mounting or similar.

The V8S doesn't use that Ford bracket - I assume because it is not strong enough.
It has a bespoke bracket as below & mounts welded to the chassis.
