I am struggling with my gearbox mount. I want the box really tight in the chassis (cos it will hit stuff if it moves too much!). I was going to use a landrover engine mount, but they are M10 not M12. I stiffened up the standard sierra mount with screen bond, but its not stiff enough.

Westys have this mount which looks stiff - but is it? Anyone know?

I've heard it is stiffer,but to make sure how a about a trip to the westie forum as they must know the answer.

westy mount is very stiff! i can highly recomend it hammered the car on testing today and had no knocking!

Just ordered one online, only £10, should save a lot of messing about trying to cobble something together. Yet another manufacturer to add to the list of bits to justify a Q plate

It is indeed much stiffer, and smaller. Its an old ford part in origin i believe.

£10 well spent, even a new sierra mount is a bit soft for the avaliable gearbox swinging room.

Anyone know what old ford part?
Cheers, Steve.

cheers for all the info!

I'll be ordering one too!

From your picture it looks as though it would fit my MT75 which was removed from a 2.0l DOHC. Worth a look ?

I finally got around to fitting it, I had to make up a lower mount to carry it, but very pleased, very little movement, and neat. Westfield also do one for the MT75 box, but I don't know the difference
