My 20vT MK2

G60 rear bracket is on. I thought the rear mounts were all the same on Mk2's?

I think its the front bracket which needs to be changed. Been looking everywhere for a Corrado or G60 front bracket, and there seems to be none around!!

Or, like rubjonny suggested in another thread, it might be worth adusting the front solid mount and try and jiggle it into place.

Was thinking that myself Nige.

Will try out R.J's method, and if it proves difficult finding a 4 cylinder 02a bracket, it will definitely be worth making the hole bigger

 

Rich,

Look for Corrado being broken:

This one for example, may have the bracket still, which won't be much to get posted.

^ plenty of Corrado vehicles being broken

 

Will give it a go Ben, cheers mate

 

Passat b3 is another source and may not get the scene tax of rado or g60 bits ....

 

Hi Rich,

Was very nice meeting you and seeing this in the flesh. Looking forward to a ride in this once its mapped and ready

Ram

 

Hey Ram, was good to meet you to

I'll drop you a pm / text once it's out and ready. Will let you know about the next London meet to.
Would be good to have you there with the mk2.

 

Will update my thread later on as I seem to be missing quite a few posts.

 

If you've got the starter motor by now, please retro-post "bump start it" for me.

Lol. lol

Well, the engine is now all in complete, awaiting a starter motor

Here are from pictures from today. I managed to get everything in the bay.





So glad that it's all finally in, 3 months since the last engine blew

Thing left to do are:

* Bleeding new brakes
* Fit new rear suspension
* Fit the exhaust
* Give it a real good clean

I've got until next weekend to complete it.

Should hopefully make it for Inters

 

Are you sticking with the Jetex for now?

 

I will be for now, but I'm hoping to buy a full Trackslag system for it very soon

 

Do me a favour and weigh em each, I'm curious to know the difference.

 

Just to replace one of your missing posts.....


Mmmmmmmm

 

Looking good mate, wish I was making as much progress with my Scirocco! - Although there seems to be lot more 'fundamental restoration' on mine! Projects like this help me see the light at the end of the tunnel..

I should really start a thread, but the 500 odd photos I have would take an age to sort!

 

DO IT!!

 

lol

Thanks mate, hope alls well btw

Yeah get a thread up, would enjoy reading it

x2

 

Will try mate

 

Looks tasty

 

Thanks Sambo

I can't wait to drive it again

 

I put in some oil and coolant today, only to find that the metal water pipe has a tiny split in it, allowing coolant to leak all over the gearbox

Hopefully I can buy a new one ? Will pop into Vw tomorrow!
