Re: G1 motor mount replacement
I got muffler off and my ‘82 did have an engine tensioner. It’s missing or been removed. Since I’m replacing mounts I’d like to put it back. Anyone know where to find or how to make one?

Re: G1 motor mount replacement
Yep, it can easily be fabricated from a governor adjuster. Look it up, not hard & not expensive. But, I think the correct parts can still be had (for more money).
The original is known for breaking/wearing out. But the alternative will never wear out. |

Re: G1 motor mount replacement
The original tensioner is a stainless steel cable with two eyelets on each end. Not real heavy duty in my opinion.
I just made a plate out of 1" flat bar with a hole on each end that connected to the engine mount on one side and the rear axle on the other. The idea is you're just trying to stop and back and forth movement of the engine/mount during acceleration/deceleration. |

Re: G1 motor mount replacement
I have made several different tensioners. On page 14 of my Vc460 build is the one that worked by far the best. It has a urethane bushing between the 2 metal mounts. It seems to control any bucking between hard acceleration and braking cycles.
