Cortina mk1 zetec install on standard crossmember? Help please!
Hi, sizing up my zetec install. Had some Retroford escort engine mounts and a spare Mk1 Cortina crossmember so had a look how far out they are.
There is no way I can use these as not enough clearance between crossmember and mounts.. even without the rubber mounts fitted it would be a solid fit, face to face.
Looked on Retroford and they do a D.I.Y engine mount kit for crossmemeber mount but from what I can see the mount would be so short near non existent.
Has anyone mounted Zetec to standard crossmember for front bowl sump and steering box? Or, does everyone go chassis mount?
Any help and advice much appreciated.
Thanks.

You'll need to cut the towers off the crossmember and reduce them in size then use retro fords universal engine mount kit to make your own mounts to fix to your modified crossmember...at least thats what i did. if you send me an email address i can get some pictures for you
