Hey guys, just looking into options for slim engine mounts being threaded both sides and was wondering if anyone can confirm whether or not early RX7 engine mounts are threaded. Most pictures seem to be that they're not, i.e:

but on toycrazy, these are supposed to be RX7 mounts - but threaded?

Otherwise, anyone know of other slim mounts similar - to be used in the same fashion is the second picture.

Cheers,
Kent

go down to "the mount shop" if they dont have what you want, no one in the universe will.

you can always run a die down an unthreaded stud if you want a thread on it.

Pretty sure RX7 Engine mounts are threaded, the one's in my brothers car are. Failing that, as Malcolm said, use a die.

hmmm i think i have a pair of them here somewhere of a series 7

The ones pictured are 1st gen, but Series 6-8 mounts are definately threaded. and are quite similiar in design.

series 6-8 are approx 2" in thickness

same size as S4/5 items

that first pic doesnt look threaded as they come with a plastic sleeve to protect the thread while in storage, i used mounts like this in my series 2

Yeah why would they just have a blank stud?

Lego engine mounts?

S4/S5 Mounts are threaded.

Last set I got cost $1.50 from trademe....

Ah thought that was the case.

Tsoob, what did want for the pair of mounts?

Failing that, I'll try mount shop or get some cheapies of TM.

Cheers guys.

this might sound odd but try giving mazda a call. I got genuine ones for $25 each. Granted, that was over here in australia, but if toyota is anything to go by, nz is a LOT cheaper with genuine mechanical parts....

Don't put them in upside down either :wink:
