Engine Mount Limit Stops
« on: December 23, 2019, 13:37:11 »
Hi All,

As per some other posts all my "limit stop" hardware was missing from the engine mounts which I removed from my car.

The problem I have is that my usual resources for new parts seem to be limited to the later style version with a hex head bolt fitted to secure the limit stop (127-220-00-71).

My 1963 220SE/C should have an M12 x 50mm threaded stud with two nuts, one to get the correct compression on the rubber washer plus a locknut.

Can I use the later style hex head bolt as used on W113?

Regards

Hi all,

Thought I would give this one a push.

As per the image below my car should have the hardware on the left (same as early 230SL) but it is all missing.

Can I fit the later version hardware shown on the right which is readily available?

Regards
