I bought some engine mounts after the assurance they would fit my Hawkeye, 2.5 STI 06..

The hard race from below..




Now the car is in the garage, and they are saying they are the wrong mounts..

Are they?

 

 

Can't you get the plates for the new mounts to fit them?

 

the only difference in mounts is the gearbox mount between 5 & 6sp cars. the engine mounts are all the same fitting. They are sided so is it possible they are trying to fit RH to LH side and vice versa

does this pic help?

I was just about to say, am i missing the metal bracket? Is that a standard OEM part?

 

Cheers Gambit,

I can see that they are the right ones. Ive told the garage that a few times today, lol... But i can also see how they are saying they don't fit...

So am i right in saying, going of the blue prints, i have the round mounts and to get the hard race to fit, i need parts 13, 12 and 15?

 

You reuse the mounting plates from the oem mounts, you shouldn't need to purchase anything extra.

 

So i have the plates on currently? Cant really see them from the pics they sent me. So there should be no issues with fittest then..... Hmmm

Thanks Dubzy...

 

Yes mate the brackets unbolt from the oe mounts and you fit them to the new hardrace mounts. I fiited the same items to my blobeye with no issues. Is it a subaru garage doing the work ??

 

Photo looks like the plate is plastic and has snapped.


You will need the plates To fit the new ones

 

Thats why i asked as i couldn't see the metal plates from that picture.. So i will need parts 13, 12 and 15 then? Thanks

Not sure if these do the plates separate. That's all that's needed

 

Are the plates a standard universal size then? Comparing the blueprint round mount to the bracket mount, they look different sizes... sigh...... don't wanna chuck anymore money if it's not going to be right...

thanks for the replies folkes

 

That's all you need and you already have them

 

Lol.. So at this point, i know that i either do have them or i don't....

 

The plastic ones that were on my 2006 STI snapped aswell so I put the normal type ones on, bought a second hand set from a hatch STI with the plates and they fitted no problem.

 

The blue print on opposed forces there shows two different type of mounts a round one like in your picture and a aquarer one like the hardrace . No ? Are they interchangeable ?they look completely different

 

That's my thoughts, lol..

I've been looking at eBay and most say they fit all 5/6sp..


I'm just getting told 2 different things here, lol.. guess I'll find out later...

 

There interchangeable you just need the plates lol. The holes in the block and the subframe are the same.

 

As above you just need the plates

 

Ring a breaker, buy old engine mounts with plates, job done.

 

All sorted....

For future reference, so there is no confusion.... you NEED the plates haha...

Would have thought they would have been supplied as most kits do...

Thanks all..
