sidewayswhat! 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 Ok so I'm having quite a bit of trouble finding a couple of thing like e28 m5 or 525 (I believe) motor mounts anyone have any laying round they wanna sell? Also a e34 m50 sump with oil pick, dipstick and tube? I really need these to get the motor in so I can get my turbo lined up etc in the engine bay. Some help me find these bits PLEASE. PM me if you have anything, Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2079 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 If you know the dimentions you are after. Just ring up the mount shop and see if you can match one that is close. I use Jag ones in my E30 as they are stronger yet exactly the same dimentions. So worth a call. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How stiff are the isuzu mounts? My mounts compress too much under full noise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 if you want BMW partsbin ones you need E28 M30 engined ones. M5 works because the S38 is, for this purpose, the same as M30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sidewayswhat! 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 I went to auto align and parts master to see if they had the mounts who get them from the mount shop and they cant get any for at least 3 months, I also went to jeff grey bmw and got quoted $112 for the right side mount and they are going to call me with a price for the left side e28 m5 mounts. Wold there be anyone else I could get the mounts from or just suck it up and spend up to $224 for new bmw mounts??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need fabrication, But the M5 e28 required at least a 5mm spacer for me, using a golf booster without the firewall slotted, and had to shave 3 fins off the intake manifold. Come have a look today tomorrow if youre keen man, the engines coming back out, f**ked the shitty gearbox I got off trademe...

Come have a look today tomorrow if youre keen man, the engines coming back out, f**ked the shitty gearbox I got off trademe... will have to, I dont finish course till 4 tomorrow, and on wed finish at 12, so whenever is good with you flick me text. I'm thinking for just getting big horn mounts and doing the fab work at course if I can, what fab work is needed to get the big horn mounts to work/fit?

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted March 19, 2012 what fab work is needed to get the big horn mounts to work/fit? It requires a small bit of pipe to be welded onto both perches to raise the mounting perches, then a steel mounting plate needs to be welded on top of the pipe either side. IIRC The steel pipe is about 3cm on the exhaust side and 2cm on the inlet side. I would suggest getting the correct mounts rather than using my method. In saying that, even though the Izuzu mounts are rubber they are stiff as and cheap to replace. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sidewayswhat! 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2012 Sweet thanks, i'll keep looking for the right mounts for a bit longer but I'll probs go with your method as I need the m50 in my cr way before july Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polley 916 Report post Posted March 19, 2012 IIRC I used E34 m20 mounts, you just need to grind off the locating tab and they drop right in. Should be easy enough to find,. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be easy enough to find,.can you pm some photos or something like to me, becasue e34 m20 mounts might be easy to find.Also if there are other people that have used different mounts can you post photos or pm photos as I'm finding e28 mounts hard to find let alone the sump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
