Hi Folks, Anyone got an engine mount bar for a 71. Moustache type, or
like this ?

One of the auto jumble stalls at Dubfreeze had one them for sale the other Sunday :? Been a while since I'd seen another :?

It was the stall first on the right as you went in the auto jumble area if anyone can remember who it was for you :mrgreen:

I didn't get to dubfreeze, so I'll be relying on you ..or someone else to remember....
Could I use the 'moustache' type ? Looks much the same, but fatter, and like a moustache........... funnily. :shock:

Yours looks like a bit of a hybrid with ends from an early moustache bar? Got any other pics?
My '71 has a standard moustache type. You should be fine with one!

Here's a link to a picture of the two types. I'm guessing either will do, although the one like yours, looks sturdier?

Bottom is an early moustache bar. Top one uses the end of these welded on to a later style bar. Not original but good mod for low buses (more clearance). I'm planning to do this to mine at some point! What's wrong with yours/why are you replacing? Might be interested in it

The two central brackets that bolt to the engine are missing, otherwise its fine.
