[QUOTE="Tintop, post: 29798, member: 72"] HELP! I am in the process of replacing my blown engine. I have obtained a 1600 SP never run (stood for a few years). I have built it up, putting all the ancillaries on (nice way to spend a bank holiday) Finally came to put the rear engine support bar on and the block is different from my old one (under the pulley), the fixings are not there!! Has anyone encountered this problem and how did you resolve it? I have thought about fabricating something to support the engine and fixing it to the support bar. Or just fasten it to the gearbox as in a beetle with no rear mounts (not sure if this is wise surely if it didn't need the support volkswagen wouldn't have fitted one). AAARRGGHH!!!! Feel quite low at the moment. [/QUOTE]
