Modifying the CVH Mount
The CVH engine mount is used in the same location on the Zetec as it was fitted on the CVH. Fortunately the upper two mounting bolt holes line up with existing threaded holes of the same diameter in the Zetec block. There is even provision for the lower mounting bolt but this is mounted higher upon the Zetec block and so the mount will need modifying to use it. The lower bolt flange of the mount fouls on the oil filter mount so needs to be cut away anyway.
Unfortunately there are some photos missing in this sequence.
The CVH mount has been offered up to the Zetec and marked where it needs material removing to clear the oil pump housing.
The mounting lug on the engine for the lower bolt was painted and whilst the paint was wet the mounted was bolted in place via the two upper bolt holes to clearly show where third bolt hole needs to be.
Hole drilled.
As you can see, this is too close to the structure of the mount to be useable as it is. Besides, it should really spread the load into this structure.
A suitable thick wall tube is required for the bolt to pass through. In this case, the inner tube from an unused suspension bush.
Mount cut away to accommodate the tube.
Check for fit.
Mount bolted in place with all three bolts and the tube tack welded in position.
Mount removed and tube seam welded.
Top face ground flat for bolt head to clamp against.
