thats not a vts mount. its an 8 valve mount. you need to grind the mount if you want to use that on a 16v engine.

[williamsvts]

like so

nice looks buthcered, damn north east cowboys :p

[williamsvts]

only way to get a 8v mount to fit 16v engine :P

[Predator_R32]

yeah baby yeah :p
didnt you think of the structural properties grinding away at it :p

[williamsvts]

i drove to oxford to fit an engine, it was either do that to get him going or go home leaving both engines on his drive floor :P lol

[Predator_R32]

ahhh ill let you off then ya grease monkey :p

djrem , pm'd you bud

[james_pug]

to fit it in your 1.1 shell you need to use a 1.1 mount like so http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/9697/pa081206ik7.th.jpg (http://img219.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pa081206ik7.jpg)

[williamsvts]

why not just use the proper 16v mount though? 8v doesnt have enough bolt holes.

williams thats what I was thinking ....why not use the proper 4 hole vts mount and not the wrong three hole one

[williamsvts]

what do you mean? that is the 16v mount.

[james_pug]

the 16v mount will not bolt to the 1.1 chassis leg

[williamsvts]

why not?

[tif992ss]

I think I have missed the bit about it being a 1.1 , where's that in the tread ,
wheres me glasses , oh bugger sat on them again

[williamsvts]

never dabbled with 1.1s. whats diferent with their mounts?

[Timlowthian]

Doesnt say it was a 1.1 in the thread lol

[james_pug]

why not?

how it bolts to the chassis leg is differnt, ill look for pics now

[james_pug]

it doesnt say its a 1.1 but i remember thats what his car was from reading his progress thread

[djrem]

Its a 1.1 and i know that the picture was of a vtr mount.

The 1.1 mount i have looks completely different where as i now have a VTS mount.

How can i fit the vts mount to the chassis of a 1.1 ?

Many thanks :)

[SNewham]

The mount on my 1.1 has exactly the same fixings to the chassis leg as the VTS one does if that helps at all.

im gonna go scrappy tomorrow and pick up a VTR/1.1 drivers side arm mount thingy and compare the two.

Have been trying to find a GTi/VTS to see how they fit but no-one has one local to me (Basildon, Essex)

The 1.1 mount in the picture:
