Rear ESP bracket

[tootall]

Is the rear ESP mount suppose to have a gap on each side of the dx rear bracket that i ordered. When i put the mount between the bracket, it has like a half inch on each side. Normal or not?

[drummersteve7]

put bolt through and that bracket will conform to the mount.

do u have a pic of it?

[drummersteve7]

I never took a pic of the rear motor mount.

are you having issues getting the bolt in?

[tootall]

No, dont have any pics yet, but im not having issues with the bolt going thru. The mount is not in the car yet. All i did was put the mount between the new bracket that i got, and there is alot of space between it on each side..



So you think it will pull together, seems like alot to me..

[drummersteve7]

well what bracket do you have?
LX/DX/EX?

we need a picture to help you out more!

[tootall]

Its the one i need, lx, or dx, not sure which,its not tall like the ex bracket. It bends down in the back instead of up.

[tootall]

Dont have the bolt, its at the garage, just put a drill bit through it

seems normal to me. Once I tightened mine, the bracket bent inwards and the gap was minimized.

[tootall]

Thanks, just wanted to know what other people did. Maybe it will bend in.

yeah the ESP mount is slightly narrower than the OEM mounts. I know this since I had a defective insert and when i went to put my OEM mount back in, it was too wide. I got a new insert and all is well now. The bolt will tighten the bracket around the ESP mount, don't worry.

you could always put some big washers in the spaces to take up the room.

[tootall]

Thats what i was thinking about doing, with the washers, just would be hard to keep them on there when i go to set the engine in. Thanks losi for the input, makes me feel better.
