Default Engine Mount Stupid Question

Having a complete mind blank....

You can get 86-88 and 88-90 engine mounts.
Presumably these are based on the chassis rather than the engine (as iirc all cvh blocks are drilled the same for the mount)??


Also anyone using a Vibratechnics engine mount? Been using their gbox mounts for years and rate them but don't know if the engine mount is going to be overkill or not (mounts failed so need to replace either way).

Cheers,
Harry

Some mounts have the hole for the wing bolt higher/lower than others, the RST is lower so the mount is longer, I have a pic somewhere I'll see if I can dig it out mate.
Oh and you'll get a nice vibration at idle and low rpm with the VT mount (if you don't already).
