Hello, I’m blown away by such a quick response to my first query – thanks everyone ! I like the idea from Johny to check out the mount again, it does look pretty well cracked mind. By the way, I was surprised by how stiff the mounting arrangement is, I couldn’t get any movement by trying to wobble the engine – is that normal I wonder? Thanks again for the warm welcome to the Triumph family.

Hello, I’ve just recently started ‘looking after’ a Mk3 GT6 for my son, he had nowhere to garage it – so he let dad have the pleasure. So I’m just beginning to appreciate the fun (and pain) of owning a classic. Looking around I’m seeing the nearside engine mount needs replacing – see photo. I’ve sent off for and have now got the replacement bits. I’m looking for a bit of advice. Having no engine hoist would you recommend jacking up/supporting the engine weight via suitable piece of wood positioned under the sump and a trolley jack? Would the sump be able to take this? Or is there a better way to do this? Hope you can help – any advice welcome. MattT
