WANTED: FRONT engine mount

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

WANTED: FRONT engine mount

Post by jamescarruthers » Wed May 09, 2018 9:17 am

For some reason the front L/H engine mount (okay, technically a gearbox mount!) has fallen apart on my project car. Vibration and gear selector movement on acceleration, confirmed by jacking the engine a bit and seeing it is torn.

This is unusual as it is normally just the rear oil filled mount that goes on later cars. 

Does anyone have one they'd be willing to sell? ‎ The two front ones are the same on all manual 480's and are a simple lump of rubber.

Volvo part number 3417259 or 3417259-3‎
Ref. Volvo parts catalogue section 43, page 391, item 14.‎

Don't worry, I won't keep this to myself but don't have my papers with me‎.

Before anyone gets too excited, they don't have the rear gearbox oil filled one that will eventually give up on your later cars. I did ask. 

They have the forward two (which pretty much never break), although not to sure how many.

Forgot to answer this question: Trust Car Parts, and ask for Steve.

I think I got the last one, but you never know.

You can run part numbers past him and they will check their stock, they don't keep the stock list on the internet which is a bit of a pain.

I had great luck with the mount, but everything else I've tried has been nil stock.
