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

non existant from renault now. the only thing i have is the rubber mount if its any good? brand new in packet.

[Pete@Backyard Racing]

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??

Yeah rubbers the same

[Pete@Backyard Racing]

I thought so, was just checking. Thanks

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

spot on haz the rubber mounts cant be brought from renault anymore either. they come back as standard 5 mounts

Rubbers are defo the same, I bought GTX mount and rubbers when I done the f7p conversion new from renault and the rubber was the same as C1J metal mount's different

they are GTX rubber is same as gtt the metal mounts are different


(pic of gtx rubber and GTx mount, I have had it side by side with gtt rubber and they are identical).



Why should the rubbers be different?? its the metal bracket that holds the engine differently not the rubber mount 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.

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
