Title: Rear engine mounts
Post by: TAYZ on September 25, 2006, 09:45:30 AM
I have purchased a trimatic conversion kit to put in my FC.  Today FE HOTROD and myself masde an attempt to install it.  The template that bolts to the trimatic bellhousing is different to the FC engine mounts so did EK Hydromatics have different rear engine mounts to manuals as the template is made to fit EK Hydromatics??  If so does any one have any laying around........

I would have sworn they were the same, I am up in Reservoir and have my kit out of the car at the moment, do you want me to drop round after work and compare the two???

Tays - EK rear mounts are deifnately different to FC rear mounts.  The EK ones are about 5 mm taller than FC.  You wouldn't think it would make any difference but I tried to fit EK rear mounts to an FC and they wont fit.
I guess EK trimatic and manual rear mounts are the same.
