Tiger Engine mount

The picture is the engine mount removed from my Avon, the car has done 2,050 miles since new. These mounts were supplied with the kit. It could have been a whole lot worse I suppose.

I noticed it as my engine had dropped at one side.

Maybe worth checking your mounts if you have a Tiger. Rescued attachment enginemount1.JPG

That looks like stress caused by the weld. It might pay to make the mount plate out of 5mm and leave a bit more space round the tube so it's not near the edge.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
