I need a pair of engine mounts. Anyone know if they were fitted to any other cars? Reason is I am in the USA and the postage gets bit steep for heavier items. Just wondering if they are common with anything else, maybe in the Land Rover range.
They actually look like Triumph TR8 ones?

I bit the bullet and ordered the upgraded Powers ones. I was hoping the Pound would drop to the dollar over night, no such luck....damn.
Its possible to get a lot of the Rover engine parts here in the US, but they tend to charge more than the UK when factoring in the exchange rate, so sometimes its better to order from the UK even with the postage.

Fairly sure the Rover SD1 engine mounts are the same. The OP could have saved on postage and import tax as Rimmers now have an office open in the USA. Tel. no. at top of the page in the link.

If buying from Rimmers do check the dimensions to make certain.
I had several other items to order as well, so did a job lot. As for Rimmers in the USA, the chances of them having them in stock in the US are about zero. Yes, SD1's were sold here in the US, but they were a resounding flop and I bet you can count the number still running here on one hand. Often there isn't much in it on cost as the US suppliers may buy when the pound is strong and price in dollars accordingly. I have been lucky enough never to pay customs/import tax buying parts from the UK. I think there is a minimum value before you do. Maybe I've just been lucky the last 15 years ;-)
