Mike will prob be your best bet but you can always drill out the C1J one to fit the F series / b18 engine:agree: if that's what you doing

Mike has only got one that he's replicating. I might just end up drilling the c1j mount to fit. Is the c1j rubber the same as the gtx rubber??

I think the rubbers different, you can use a gtt mount but its not quite the same angle so squashes the rubber more on one side

Why should the rubbers be different?? its the metal bracket that holds the engine differently not the rubber mount:laugh: I have done the conversion's a few times now and metal mount is the only difference

The rubbers should be different as the f block weighs more, and the angle of the mount is taller on one side. If you have one from Renault thats the same it's because it is a gtt not gtx and they have just listed them for both types as out of stock ;) vans and clios with the gtx mount are the same too, so long as they are 1.7's. The 1.8 versions are different again.

:D:agree:

if im right im sure on the rubber gtx mout the back metal plate which attaches to the metal mount has more of and angle. the mount photoed defently looks like a gtt one
