Title: URGENT! engine/charger mount problem
Post by: gurtbonger on December 28, 2010, 04:05:41 pm

hi,  it seems the threaded lug that the main engine mount bolt goes in to has dropped inside the chassis leg! got me charger and alternator out to reveal a hole in chassis opposite the alternator pulley, ive been fishing in there with a magnet with no luck as i cant get directly under where the mount goes. bit of help needed, cant see any more access holes. what do you reckon i should do?
thanks james.

keep fishing! try and get ahold of a powerful magnet and wrap load of tape /plastic round it so it dont stick to the metal of the chassis leg and see if you can get at it. only other solution is to cut a hole in the leg and weld it up- i wouldnt want to do that!!!
