Title: Eaton Mounting ???
Post by: Oily Fingers on June 03, 2010, 10:25:38 PM
Hey, bought this a few weeks ago, but just did a mock up of the mount on the block with the charger on it. 

now i got a feeling that this is wrong.

the bit poking up on the right on the bracket is clearly in the way, i try to mount the charger on but the poking out bit, the charger rests right on top!!!
Could get away with cutting that part off and grinding it down???
also i have a feeling this might be a mk2 g40 bracket?????

has anyone got a picture of the mount they use on there Eaton g40's.

It's just a standard g40 engine mount.  You didn't buy that as some kind of eaton mount did you?

Would they cut that 'sticky up bit' off though Paul as i dont have that although i do have a bolt on my charger which may mate up to it, keeping the charger level instead of how it is now.

Cut it off. Looks as though mine has been in the past........

nah,  my Easton has the correct bracket bolted to it. Bought it as a normal engine mount.

Think i'll be playing with the angle grinder this weekend!!!!!!
