Graham W Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 This adjustable engine mount was fitted to a model I recently obtained and I tried to find out what it is by doing a search of the internet to no avail. Does anybody recognise it? I would love to know who made it etc...... Edited By Graham W on 11/02/2015 13:56:06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Graham I may be wrong but looking at the pieces I think it has been 'scratch built' from bits that have other uses. For instance the 4 adjustable 'sliders' are just that being intended to move continuously with bronze bushes. A rather unnecessary luxury for an adjustable engine mount!.

Graham W Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Simon, the bushes are rubber, making it a vibration free mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Are the bushes bronze or rubber as it looks like a universal quiet mount that was around some years ago. I can't remember who marketed it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lane Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Im sure it's a Parc Amber mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dean Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Made by PARC Amber I think- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham W Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 As above Bob, they are rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Wood Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Not sure, but didn't Parc-Amber make a quiet engine mount like that? Edit - as above! Edited By Richard Wood on 11/02/2015 14:19:35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Posted by Graham W on 11/02/2015 14:17:30: As above Bob, they are rubber. yes, our posts crossed - I'm not a fast typerist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stratton Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Mark Lane has it right, Parc Amber adjustable quiet mount with rubber bushes. Sadly they are no more. Mine doesn't have the split pins, yet! Ps I have a brochure (I think) if I can find it I'll scan and post it on here.

Graham W Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks Guys, can't find anything on Parc-amber online tho, no photos, nowt. Is it worth anything? the rubbers seem ok. I won't use it, it's too heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It does look rather neat. Takes a lot of the guesswork out of drilling those Nylon mounts Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think it would be reasonable to assume it is a Parc-Amber mount. They have indeed stopped trading (2004?) but This is their patent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Well - that prevents anyone making a commercial copy without a license. Shame really - I would be very happy to use those M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Whybrow Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 The patent's expired, so no restriction on making and selling copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
