Exhuast mounts needed

[mikea4tdi]

Thinking ahead I need new exhuast mounts, as I haven't got the old ones pictures and sources for new ones much appreciated.
Kind Regards

what do you mean by exhaust mounts Mike ? are you referring to the rubber doughnuts ? if so they are available from TVR Carparts, you'll need three sets (they come in pairs)

I need the rubber ones, as I didn't take it apart I'm unsure what i need.
I need the rubber bits and the bolts and washers etc, unless I can make it up from my spare bolt draw.

does this help ?

Mike this is on the V8 - I thinks its the type you mean.
You must put this bolt through the mount before putting the body on as it won't go in afterwards on the V8, I don't know if the position is the same on the V6.

From the top the sandwich is

Bolt Head
Flat Washer
Rubber doughnut half
Chassis bracket
Rubber doughnut half
Exhaust bracket
Flat washer
Nut (can't remember whether it was a nyloc or not but suspect nyloc might melt).

On my S3 theres enough room to get the bolt through the mount when the body is in place no probs... I think its about a 12mm bolt

top to bottom the sequence is:
bolt head
large flange washer
chassis mount
rubber mount
exhaust bracket
rubber mount
large flange washer
spring washer (doubtful if needed due to squash of rubber doughnuts... ?)
nut
locknut.

I hope that helps

Thats a good start,

is the central on at the rear the same or the bobbin type?

[phillpot]

Rear is the same, bolt on mine is M10 (17mm spanner) and nut has to be a "nylok" type because it doesn't actually tighten up on anything solid if you understand what I mean ? ( or guess could use two nuts tightened onto each other)
finally, used some rubber compressor mountings from a large air coditioner on mine

I got the bobbin type from the local Kwik fit, saves on post.
