Title: motor mounts on a 300 TDI
Post by: John M on January 25, 2021, 08:13 PM
Good Evening,
I am currently converting a military defender 90 with the standard 2.5 L normally asperated diesel to a 300TDI out of a Discovery. I am looking for information on where to buy the motor mounts for this installation. If anyone has done this conversion and can provided some technical direction I would be grateful. 
Thanks and have a great night

I helped with a 300Tdi into 2.5Na conversion, used a kit similar to the one in the link, the template did not work, took a few hours on the get every thing in place with a full bolt up, gearbox, drive shafts etc, then tacked mounts, pulled out drive train and welded the mounts to the frame.

Theirs lots of info and some good photos on google.
