SteveB21 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hi all Is there a right and wrong way for the slots on the engine mounts? Attached picture showing my old “soggy” mounts arranged as they came off, with mounting slots vertical. Is this correct, so I should put my new mounts on the same way, with slots going vertically? Many Thanks Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Am I being thick? I see no slots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
had17462 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Pete I think Steve means the holes if you look carefully they are slightly slotted , they go as the picture suggests I believe. Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fireman049 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I fail to see that the mountings could be fitted other than as shown? Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I’d be tempted to fit them with the slots horizontal so that the slots can take up any horizontal misalignment. If the slots are fitted vertically the weight of the engine will set them at the lowest position and the slot will serve no purpose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveB21 Posted April 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 As Nick says, the holes are slightly oval / slotted in a vertical direction, as they came off the car, but I'm wondering if the new ones should really be mounted with the slots horizontal as Andrew suggests - as per this photo...

SteveB21 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Mystery solved - I rang Revington (the supplier). The slots are there because the mounts are supplied for other cars (Stag, TR7) as well as the TR6, so the slots give some flexibility in mounting if required - there is no "wrong" way to fit so long as the engine doesn't foul the chassis / bonnet , etc. I just fitted my new ones with slots vertical and all's well.
