Anyone got a picture as I can't find one?
My m8 has a 1.8GTI engine to go in his small blcok shell. But I can't see how the drivers side mounts?

Yeah read that,
previously we had thought that it was the passenger side mount that needed moving, so I was a little confused.
It also did not make it clear that the other 3 mounts are different althought the bodywork brakets are ok.
So we are on the hunt for 4 MK1 Big block GTI mounts ( would 1986 Caddy Diesel ones fit?
Cheers

turbo, caddy ones would do the job mate, and gx, gl, gti. if you look on your car on driver side mount, a little further back there is a 'face', thats where the beggar wants to go. as matt says change the gearbox mount too, couple of bolts thats all. one of the members from here as a cracking 16v conversion guide with loads of handy tips and info, cant rememeber who tho :dontknow:
