Replacing motor and transmission mounts in a original 1973 1.7. Any suggestion on the type and where to purchase? Thanks,
Ken |

QUOTE(UROpartsman @ Oct 29 2018, 11:51 AM)  *Modified 911 mounts do not have the proper anti-rotation pins on the center sleeve, .. not quite the correct thickness, are not the correct stiffness, do not have an original appearance, and require the mounting holes in the ears to be re-drilled. However, modified 911 mounts were a functional substitute until the correct 914 mounts were finally available again. So, are you saying that either of the engine mounts that you posted above, could be used for the 914 Transmission? and that they are better options than the 911 motor mount, one (like DRPHIL914 posted a picture of above)? QUOTE(DRPHIL914 @ Oct 29 2018, 12:02 PM) here is a picture of a 911 motor mount used on the 914 transmission and stock washers ..and DRPHIL914, did you have to make the multiple modification outlined by UROpartsman to this particular 911 ENGINE mount (that you've used at the 914 transmission)? Is there a 911 mount that works at the transmission (of 914) that does not need modifications. Or is the 914/6 motor mount a better option for tranmission mounts. Sorry but I'm obviously confused.

Sorry, here's that comment, edited for clarity: *When modified to be used as 914 transmission mounts, 911 engine mounts require the mounting holes in the ears to be filed into an oval shape or re-drilled, do not have the proper anti-rotation pins on the center sleeve, are close but not quite the same thickness, are not the original stiffness (the engine mounts are stiffer), and do not have the same appearance as original 914 transmission mounts, which can be an aesthetic issue in a fully-restored vehicle. However, modified 911 engine mounts were certainly a functional substitute until proper 914 transmission mounts were finally made available again from URO and Porsche OEM. |
