Subject: Re: LG45 Engine Mountings: Assessment and Replacement
Mark
The new engine mountings I purchased from the Club spares had excess rubber from the moulding process on the underside which needed trimming off which I did not notice when fitting and they had to be removed again to cure this when the engine was installed...
Suggest check the radiator trunnion rubber mounts, if these are bad the radiator may have dropped.(Mine were badly perished so I replaced them, the Club has these available)
Mine were changed with the body removed but I can see how difficult this is with it in situ.
If you do decide to remove the wing mounting box make sure you mark up the spacers between the box and the chassis as these are similar but not the same!
Cheers
Bill
