Is there an uprated one out there? Such as powerflex ??

I was asking that question to a few people 2 days ago.
Seems like there is only OEM available.

Unless someone can tell us otherwise?

Swap for subframe mounts, R5/R19 style - better design.

Think its either an R19 16v one you want or a R5 GTX one - canna remember which though.

Think Winston may have looked into it...maybe ask him?

so useless to me anyway :lol:

The search continues, I shall update IF i find anything suitable :lol:

Aye, you'll have that horrid big bracket for pas/alt in the way.

The whole R19 pas setup might be lworth looking at...if it goes in the clio bay it'd allow the subframe mount to go on.

Maybe try asking (chris h) over on retro-renault?

Justin..

i dont think it does. the alt on the 19 is far to forward, would foul the rad

u33db

Damn.

Is there no way you can butcher the alt/pas bracket?

I'll maybe have a look at the 16v i've got in the garage if yours is already in the car...

Does this mean you can't fit the r19 mount if you've got PAS?

Nope, as the clio pas/alt bracket uses the bolt holes.

its not the R19 mount is the R5 GTX


we're talking engine, not gearbox

Pffft

Solid mount it!! Some bolts and a welder should do the trick.

Chassis vibrations FTW!!!

unfortunatly the 19 16v bracket is a no go, like said above it wont fit in due to the different layout

a custom mount could be easyly fabricated to work though

I think you could get away with butchering the std clio alt/pas bracket.

Had a look at the one in my garage...i reckon you grind off the section that bolts to the lowermost 2 bolts on the r19/5 bracket then sandwich the 3 bolt hole if you get me.

Does anyone have a schematic of the clio vs the R19 engine mount bracket im confused at what the differences are.

Pic courtesy of retor-renault;

That it - basically flip the clio setup so alt on top then the pas pump bolts on the front of the bracket. Engine mount resides underneith it.
