I have a set on my Rally car,They are a machined casting :wink: :wink: .
I believe when available from the Grp "A" catalogue,cost was around

£1400 plus vat for the 3 :cry: :roll: :cry:

On the Irish car I am putting together (slowly) I have gone for the R19 set up,for the two front mounts,and made a copy of the "MAXI" rear gearbox mount using Williams bottom arm bushes and a fabricated steel mounting.

Remember the works used power steering ~~ again from the Grp "A" catalogue,they had a special front cam cover £600 :shock: :shock: ,which carried a special power steering pump driven off the front cam £1800 :shock: :shock: ~~The part numbers are available :roll: but I do not think the parts are.

The set up I am using on the Irish car uses a non power quick rack.
I had to re~machine the proper Grp "A" mount to clear the feed/return pipes on my Wiliams steering rack,on my rally car

I have the rally car all covered up ~~ so cannot get pictures of that,
I will post a few pictures of the "Home ~ brewed" mounts sometime this week if it will help you.

FQ2000turbo and any others interested ~~ here is my interpretation of item 3 from above :o :wink: :lol: :wink: ,not aluminium but a fraction of the cost.It just utilizes Williams bottom arm bushes x2 at the rear.
Basically item 23 from the picture is the front end of a 19v rear gearbox mount and this bit bolts to the gearbox :roll: :wink: :roll:

Picture of the subframe is the old one of the car,strong and welded but tatty on the edges,needs a quick blast and powder coat :lol: :wink: :lol:
Not got a use for this now,It shows where the rear of the mount fits.

Feel free to get in touch for more details.

tks
how do you have the other gearbox mount ? the 12

[cliorod]

On my Proper Rally car,I have those as shown,in your parts list.
But for the Irish car,I have fitted the R19 16v front engine & g/box mountings.These bolt on the engine block,with a "rubber" mounting to the subframe,basically the same idea on both sides,~~ Believe me the engine is held as firmly/solidly as the Rally car,but at a fraction of the costs :wink: :roll: :wink:

Down side
:cry: :roll: :cry: :roll:

1)Road noise ~~ Is significantly increased,not a problem for a competition car,but could be a source of annoyance on a road car :cry: :cry:
2)The one shown,will need a bit of modifying to clear the power steering pipes from the rack.
3) The Irish car does not run power steering ~~ so no provision for the power steering pump.
4) I have put the Clio cup mod for the alternator etc .
If you need pictures of these I will post them
