Two things:

1. golf TRASMISSION mounts for Rover p6 engine?
2. how do you get admitted to the classicroverforum? Is there a mail to write, a webmaster?

Thanks again, ciao, Gianluca

HI Giancarlo,

I can't find the part number off at the moment. But if you specify a transmission mount for a 1987 Golf that'll give you the correct part. Order two and you'll be good. I fitted a pair a good few years back and they hold up great. Another plus is they are hydraulically filled so do a great job of damping vibrations into the body.

Best,

Steven

Buon giorno , Gianluca !
I did that to my TC ,  I had to enlarge  the holes in the frame just a
little bit  since the VW mount is slightly fatter than the original.
I read Demetris' post at classicroverforum  ( THANK YOU , DEMETRIS !! ).

Ciao,

Dear friends hope you all are well.
It is a very long time since.

My 2000 TC is going quite well and during this lockdown I' ve been
using it quite often.

Please one info.
On a Rover p6 facebook group I' ve seen a discussion about Rover P6
engine
mounts.
Someone changed them and fitted VolksWagen ones instead, normally
used on
85 - 92 Jettas and Golf.
I do not need them now, but I'd like to have the references.

Have a look at the link which was posted.
The others to borrow the parts, see in the text, do not work.

Did someone do the upgrade?
Did it work well?

Thanks in advance for your answers and best regards.

Ciao, Gianluca.

Fantastic upgrade!! I have been frustrated by worn engine mounts for
the last couple of years, the situation is now so bad the engine
almost jumps from the bonnet on firing up!, not to mention a very
annoying tapping on the gearbox tunnel while the engine starts.
After a quick word with Demetris I cant wait to try this!!

Hey Demitrius,

I think I have the same problem on my car with mounts and reversed
brackets. Could you let me know if the VW Golf gearbox mounts were
for an automatic or manual diesel model?

Thanks,

Steven

Hi Steven,
Unfortunately i don't have any part numbers at hand, but the exact
mount that i fitted in my car was this:

https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gearbox-E...s=63<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gearbox-E...s=63>

It seems that they where fitted as manual gearbox mount on a variety
of VAG cars during the late '80 to early '90s, including diesels.

By the way they are still holding fine in my car.

Great news! I've found a US based VW specialist that stocks them and
has
a
handy application list. Seems they were used on all Golfs and Jettas
from
85-92 wuth manual or auto gearboxes and petrol or diesel engines.
Strangely
enough I had an 87 Golf and replaced that exact mount years ago and
never made the connection (duh!). To be fair I think it was before I
owned my 2000TC sdibbers sdibbers Well-Known Member Apr 28, 2013#26

FULL MARKS TO DEMETRIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS A SPOT ON MODIFICATION

DISADVANTAGES ........................ no ,sorry, stuck on that one!

ADVANTAGES

1 Cheap parts to buy (£30 a pair delivered)
2 Very easy to fit
3 Once done much easier to fit and remove (no need to lock the
awkward to reach bottom engine mount nut whilts undoing the top one)
Mod has
threaded
insert- one top bolt only.
4 You cant get the origionals and
5 Why would you want to , these mounts are far superior (in my
opinion)
6 No engine noise/vibration transmission, if it were not for my
sports stainless it would be very hard to tell if the engine is
still running at the lights!

THERE IS NO REASON WHATSOEVER NOT TO DO THIS, TREAT YOURSELVES!!!!!!!

BIG THANKS AGAIN TO DEMETRIS

Looking forward to all those benefits .......

Just got to put the exhaust back and the inlet manifold, then it's
time for a test drive!

Very good new for "smoothing" the four cylinder cars it seems. Well
done Demetris! I am just wondering if these mount can be used on a
1965 2000 also? If thats the case I better order 2 for the future restoration.

Thanks, i think that i was just lucky to spot the compatibility.

Barten, i don't see why these mountings could not be fitted into an
early car. As far as i know the design of the 4 cyl mounting did not
change through the years.

I'll be investing in a pair of these for Bruiser too. Nice

I've just done the same job on my 2200SC. I obtained my mounts from GSF.
I
found that I had to remove the exhaust manifold to gain access to
the left-hand mounting and 65mm was too long as the bolts bottomed.
Also the unthreaded shank of the bolt was too long. Perhaps
setscrews should be
used
instead. I have to say, though, that I haven't experienced the same
improvement that others have. The vibration is very harsh when first
started from cold, although it gets better as the engine warms up,
presumably the rubber is more compliant when it's warm, but even
then
it's
no better than the originals.

Lance,

If they’re like my car, press the disc in and the headrest slides
back
and
forth.

My car:   '70 3500S NADA

I was just gifted a NOS "Passenger's grab handle complete",
Optional
Equipment # 366837 for "cars numbered in the range 425-428 only".

It comes complete with mounting hardware (nuts and washers).    Does
anyone have any idea where and how this was to be mounted, have any
photos,
and any recommendations?

Additionally, I also received a pair of the "ET" headrests in
excellent
condition.  I can see what appears to be a hinged/cantilevered
mechanism inside, as well as the chrome disc/button on the side, but
have no idea
how
this mechanism works for apparent adjustment.

Any help would be appreciated,   Lance
