I know there was a thread on here that gave the part number for the type 9 gearbox rear mount - but can't find it and its not listed on the alternative parts list or at any of my usual parts places (including TVR Car parts) does anyone know what part number I need to quote to get one?

Cheers in anticipation

Not sure if this is exactly the same, but the mount on my Westfields were the same as the TVR one.

http://www.westfield-sportscars.co.uk and go to the online store and search for part number 3234001

I must emphasise that I haven't used one purchased recently from Westfield. My newest car was a 98 build so it is possible that the mount has changed.

Thanks to both Kevin and Jed bow. The one at Kevin's suggested site is identical to mine (although the Westfield one looks like it will fit there is more rubber aroud the mount areas and it is a tight fit anyway so decided not to risk it as the one at Kevin's site is identical and was lso cheaper (£13.50 delivered).

BTW this site also has the original engine mounts for the S at £15 a pair delivered!!!!

See http://www.southwalesprops.co.uk/propshaft/vehicle...

As always swift and helpfull replies thumbup. banghead Knew I should have changed the mount when the box was out but it looked ok if a little tired!!!

Mark before you buy the engine mounts too, do a search on here as I think there are two compounds of rubber used for these mounts... The Quinton Hazel ones and I think these on the South Wales propshaft one are considered soft, whereas those sold by "rallydesign" (I think ?) are a harder compound. also ensure you get 2" (50mm) not the 1.1/2" (38mm)

Good luck

Have searched and can't find anything that says these are not OK wrt rubber "softness" (they are the 50mm ones so are correct size). However having read the threads recommending the ones at Rally Design, which are only £6 ea, it would seem silly to take the risk of having to repeat the work - thanks for the warning Kevin, if we ever meet I owe you a beer.
