Supersprint1988 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I am not happy to ask, but I just can't work out how to fit the Raceline engine mounts to my Zetec Blacktop ( please no comments on how I will manage to finish my engine swap 😬 ) Any advice / photos ? Carsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Just been out to the lock up. NS rectangular plate 4 bolts into the block just behind water pump OS triangular plate 3 bolts into block just behinf oil filter Both mounts have a single bolt into chassis, same as x/flow. HTH  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molecular--Bob Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Mine just bolted on, and only seemed to fit one way, but i will be with the car tomorrow so will have a look. Wonder if they have sent you duratec or maybe silvertop mounts by mistake? As Aeroscreens says above, that is how i remember mine going on. Edited by - Molecular--Bob on 9 Nov 2011 19:16:22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersprint1988 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 At the Raceline web site it's the same picture for the Duratec and the Zetec mounts. Mine looks like these: here Carsten     Edited by - Supersprint1988 on 9 Nov 2011 19:18:44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 The OS triangular mount points forward at approx 45 degrees with apex of the triangle at the top if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun Bunny Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011  Your mounts look just like mine. After my initial attempts to fit the raceline mounts I convinced myself they would never fit, but found they did when I used the following technique. Loosely secure mounts to the block with the horizontal bolts, this allows you a little bit of movement to line up the vertical bolts with the old crossflow mounts. Then gradually screw home the horizontal & vertical bolts.  Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersprint1988 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 I guess it's up to Raceline to decide if they wan't to send me some Zetec mounts or a Duratec engine 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molecular--Bob Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Did you get a full install kit from Raceline? If you did, it might be worth checking that the rest is zetec and not duratec before you contact them. Better to get it all in one box rather than finding a sequence of wrong parts as you get on with putting it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I would say they are the wrong mounts. Mine (2L RACELINE Blacktop) bolt into the two holes immediately to the left of the dipstick (not the higher one) together with the one you are using under the water pump inlet and the forth is behind your mount just above the sump. Therefore your mount is not wide enough and too high IMO. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersprint1988 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Thank you for your replies I have just spoken to raceline, and it is the Duratec mounts they have send me  The correct mounts should be on their way by now  Cheers Carsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
