Post subject:  Re: broken Engine mount
Are they a straight fit for the passanger side 11_evl? As in holes line up?

I have vl mounts on both sides they are the same as the 1.3 mounts you just have to file off one of the locating dowel things.

They are a tiny bit taller than standard mounts but if you lift the whole motor at the same time you can get em in there

if they hold up to an RB30 and all its backfires and cutting out and roughness and melting fuseboxes then I guess a G13 will be no drama for it :)

rofl.. what about price difference.. and do they differ between years?
good tech lads!

Post subject:  Re: broken Engine mount
from memory around $70

its a commodore. they are all the same. maybe VL turbo might be different? unlikely though as its the same block.

i wouldn't bother with drivers side, i only seem to tear the passenger side mount.

I've used these on mine and my bro's sierra. They're off an american pickup truck.

Work great and just had to drill out the mount stud holes to half inch.

they ship to australia and quite quickly and if there's a group of people that want them a group buy could be done if someone wanted to organise it.
