This weekend I will paint it.

Pics are only to show it

[dpgrand]

wait? you didn't paint it???

[Taper]

Ugly, but works perfectly

i dont understand why you are doing this... it should just bolt up if you have the correct parts

[Taper]

Finally I deceided to hand build my own engine arm

This is the mold for the future left arm






Tomorrow I try to finish it

if there was an alternative that made the flat part of the motor arm and the mounting point on the subrframe be parallel I'd be a lot happier as that would mean I could use some off the shelf aluminum mounts (that I have sitting around gathering dust).

I ended up fabricating my own aluminum motor mounts. It definitely would have been nice if they were parallel.

need to spin the rubber mounts, the engine clearly isn't centered in the engine bay. it's a tight fit, but you can get the bottom nuts tight.

PM sent to OP.

next step is to get the right mounting arms, then get the right mounts

[Taper]

Rigth side is 0.5cm short:





And left side is too long, if I turn 180º the rubber mounts I can't screw the bottom nut of the rubber mount




What's the next step? Burn the car? :mrgreen:

[gobuffs]

guessing the motor mounts have not been turned 180 like they need to be.

Normal motor arms and E28 535 motor mounts worked for me.

[Lag]

Wow, two inches? What mounts are you using?

[Taper]

What doesn't work? They don't bolt to the block? I used S52 brackets on my swap and it worked fine..

5 cm from the arm hole to the rubber motor mount


I do a pic to show you the problem

Jesus Christ.

I knew the E34 M50 mount arms looked like they wouldnt work..
