EFE oil boiler mounts

[shaunbrogdon]

Starting a project with an EFE frame I've acquired. Have a B12 motor here doing nothing, does anyone have any info on engine mounts? I'm sure I've read on here that someone was selling mounts for this swap? Or have I dreamed that up whilst full of ale? 

 

Cheers

They're all in 'The Vault'

I seem to remember @Quistwas doing them at one point?

Dept on skills there not hard to do in steel

I used the original EFE front plates to position the engine and made the rest to suit from various engine plates I had kicking about

The position of the engine is another debate  as some mount it forward "reduces exhaust issues" 

some put it in the middle some to the rear  

Ooops forgot the left hand rear top mount is welded to the frame on fatty so you need to cut it off and make a new one..

Correct and in stock too. Grumpy is selling our kits too btw (Y)

But these won't fit a EFE, only GS / GSX.

Cheers @Stevemilne750 and @Swiss Toni, just spoken to chris and he said they don't fit the 1100EF. I was hoping for an off the shelf quick solution so I can just throw this engine in quickly.

I did have a few sets of these made. 

If you get some laser cut, the 2 mounts on the bottom rear, get them cut 2mm longer and shorten if needed (out of the 30 sets I had made, about 5/6 people fed back that they were too short. Better to cut them long and trim back if needed) 

The upper right rear is approx 10mm too long on those drawings too

All easily worked around

Cheers @davecaraI had heard this same thing from @Captain Chaosas well. I'm just going to do them with my plasma cutter and diet grinder I think. By 2mm longer do you mean increasing the dimension 46mm to 48mm?

[davecara]

Yes that’s the one 

[shaunbrogdon]

I think I'll make up the front and lower mounts, mount it on them and go from there to see what I need to change

Thanks for the info @davecara
