Subframe Mounting

[jackherer 543]

I took one of the mounts off my Xsara earlier, it is 61 or 62mm between bolt centres and 25mm high. If you think that might work and you want to give them a go you can have them if you cover the postage.

I got a set from Peugeot about 12 months ago would think there still available

[jackherer 543]

PM me your address and I'll put them in the post.

[309jazzpanda 39]

Yeah if anyone makes some I'll want 4

I can get one from Germany, who wants to make them then if possible ?

Jack has sent me the xsara vts ones, on first look they didnt fit. But i think thats because i tried to install it upside down lol. The hole spacing was slightly out though, i measured the vts unit at 62.10mm hole centres and it looks close so id imagine its a 60mm gap between hole centres on the 205. Im gonna try and knock a set up that ive drawn up tonight and see how they fare. I may just elongate he holes so theyd be a dual fitment between 205 and the vts. Ill let you know how i get on

how was the height?

[jackherer 543]

Their height is about 25mm but what height is a standard 205/309 one?

[309jazzpanda 39]

What are you after thought solid metal or with rubber

[welshpug 1,627]

306/xsara are all metal.

[309jazzpanda 39]

Only because the rubber type is still available thats what I'm going to fit until metals are available

I had some new 309 ones delivered through the door this morning! Here is the difference between 205 and 309,

 

 

Those xsara ones don't have the bolt part, or can that be removed?

 

I'll get them measured up and modelled in cad this week for reference and incase anyone wants to make them.

[welshpug 1,627]

zx/xsara/306 use a bolt, the part pictured from the 205/309 has a stud.

thats the xsara one jack sent me, ive polished it up a bit and the centre (nut) is independant. The one i designed was basically identical to that 309 one until i realised id tried to fit it upside down. Heres what i have now (still need to mill the flange and put in the mounting holes but you get the idea)

 

[DC2T 49]

And yes as jack says the height is 25mm, duno what the 205 is so cant compre at the moment

[welshpug 1,627]

looks ok, however you do need to check with Rhys (wallby) what the height is.

[DC2T 49]

Aye i will do

[DC2T 49]

Thinking about it a bit more, ill make mine the same as these xsara ones. Ill bore the back of mine out and turn a nut down the same to fit in. That way if they seize like the 2nd one i have, the only part youd need to replace would be the nut and not the full mount

[jackherer 543]

Looks good.

 

I can't believe how rusty my xsara was, I made loads of holes in the chassis leg with a screwdriver after I took that mount off.

Did you finish these off in the end? I'm curious to see how they turned out

[DC2T 49]

Yeh i did mate, seemed to work a treat.

 

[James504 12]

 

They are nice! very nice!

[DC2T 49]

I should really buy a lathe and knock these out at home lol
