2 questions.

1. what is going rate for mk2 escort engine mounts, like these


2. secondly, as I would be using those ^^^, what would be a good design of engine mount to allow vertical adjustment as well as fore/aft?

my idea is shown below.

I would use shims made from steel plate, or maybe aluminium, to raise the mount.

And use slots in the mount and a moveable plate to allow for adjustment in other dimensions. This will bolt on.

Good or can you think of a better/simpler/cheaper way? (I am not sure how well I be able to measure the actual engine position hence allowing for adjustment).

hmmm, I see burton power do the mount without the rubber but with slot; and rubber bobbin so there is some adjustabillity designed in.

I'd use shims as the slots in the Burton power ones do are there to allow for different thicknesses of rubber mount and not the height of the engine. You could make the shims out of hard wood tbh as the loading over such a large area is very low.

I used transit diesel ones in the Falcon as they are slightly larger but much softer than those for the petrol engines. I wanted the car to be smooth for long journeys and you can't feel any vibration when the engines running

Those mounts look like Volvo 122, which is what I used on my Toyota 4 AGE locost, I also used them on a Datsun 1200 race car many years ago after the Datsun mounts kept delaminating, no more problems.

The slots are not for adjustments, it's so you can drop the engine into the mountings as it would be otherwise impossible!

.... too late, I've ordered a set of the first one I shown.
