Does anybody know if USA left hand drive engine mounts will work here on a right hand drive vehicle. Read differing reports and dont want to import the wrong parts.

Thanks

I got some aftermarket engine mounts for my TJ from the USA and they bolted straight on.

I believe there is RHD specific mounts for XJ's only.

If you want stock TJ engine mounts, I have a pair in very good condition - only took them out because I wanted to do a MML.

Thanks for that Wes I am looking at the MML rubber ones from iron rock offroad. Thanks for the offer of the standard ones.

No worries, I got the MML rubber bushing mounts from Browndog and they bolted straight on.

The instructions from Browndog cover this but it's really important.

Loosen the transmission mount nuts on the TC skid plate.
On my '97 3 speed, there are 4 nuts recessed in these slots.

Loosen both engine mounts but only take one off at a time.

You will need a 18mm spanner/socket to remove the 'through' bolt on the stock mounts.
I mention this because it's an unusual size and most sets won't have it.
It's a pain to go to Repco and get one half through the install. :hump:
