Re: Subframe mounting
This is oil filled and very difficult to get hold of. Do your homework on here with search. I'd recommend getting one second hand from a late 440/460 that is being scrapped. You won't get a new one as far as we know here

Re: Subframe mounting
Wait, you say it is a gearbox mount? As in one of the two at the front of the car?
If so, you can buy these from Poland. I would recommend replacing two at the front as a pair as these replacements are stiffer.
The front two ARE AVAILABLE: http://www.ebay.pl/itm/372489522475
There are two rear ones, only the earlier horseshoe shape one is available.

Re: Subframe mounting
Yes think it’s the one filled with oil must of already been leaked out before I dropped the subframe

Re: Subframe mounting

Re: Subframe mounting
293must of been a horrible drive with worn clutch and this mounting gone
Re: Subframe mounting
this threw me as I thought 'flat steel with two bolts' referred to the both bolts were at the SAME end
although why this would refer to front mount was my mis-reading it.
but anyway, if you do find the REAR mount do let us know I don't think ther eis any oil in the front one, I have a damaged one here with a missing captive bolt, scrap-yard chopped the bolt off with grinder . .. . .

Still, have to try these, but if you are brave enough it might be an alternative...
Re: Subframe mounting
looks to be 25mm too much in height, and you could ADD depth to bring up to correct dims, but not really take it away, unless the height listed is INCLUDING the threaded section? the gap beteeen the bolts could be 'adjusted'?
needs a trip to a dealer or motor factor to check REAL sizes, not those from 'tinternet' ?

Re: Subframe mounting
On my current 480 I have the other style gearbox mounts so I will not experiment with this one. Still, you can get one for 30€ so... I think it would be worth to experiment whit it, or at least that Is what I would do if I needed one on my car. The total height should be the same as the Volvo one, the measure should include the threaded part. The measurements of the Volvo https://www.drive2.ru/l/7525464/Alan 480 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2019 7:14 pmlooks to be 25mm too much in height, and you could ADD depth to bring up to correct dims, but not really take it away, unless the height listed is INCLUDING the threaded section? the gap beteeen the bolts could be 'adjusted'?

The gap between the bolts could indeed be 'adjusted', but I would bet that it's very close.
Cheers
Re: Subframe mounting
yep worth a punt if needed a replacement, mines is 'OK' for now. . . . . . but will investigate should the need ariseGmac34 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2019 12:01 pmOn my current 480 I have the other style gearbox mounts so I will not experiment with this one.
