    Engine Mount - Non BMW application to fit M20

    For some reason I have it in my head that you can use Rover V8 engine mounts in place of the M20 mounts with only a little bitty modification. The benefit being cheap, and higher durometer rubber.
    Searched google, boards, bookmarks and subscriptions though and can't find where I saw that.

    Am I crazy, or can anyone back me on this?

        Well that's interesting. Not as available here as the Rover stuff. But good to know.
        That's BECK ARNLEY PN 104-1017 for the Fiat 132 Mounts. About 20 bucks ea.
        Looks like this

          I think some late '80s volvo 240/244 or something mounts work too

            Several years back, Josh needed a motor mount so we went to NAPA and found a generic motor mount in one of their books that was identical. It's a fairly simple/common shape.
