H22 EG civic mount issue
 

Ello all, Ive got a H22 going in an EG civic but theres a problem on the transmission mount. A bolt head is in the way of where the aftermarket mount wants to be :crook: Ive put a couple of pics below to help, if anyone has any ideas it would be great to hear from you.

I could weld a spacer on the back of the mount but then surely that would cock up axle alignment one side, the other solution is to notch the mount slightly or remove or grind the bolt head. Any advice is appreaciated :thumbup:

This may not have any bearing on the problem, but was the car originallly an automagic?

Are those ebay mounts?

Re: H22 EG civic mount issue
 

Those are ebay mounts yeah, Im doing a H22 EG civic swap on a very tight budget.

Modifying the mount with a bench grinder/file seems the best option.

The car was an manual D15B2 which was imported from Ireland. I'll have a look in the prelude manual and see what the bolts purpose is, maybe I can replace it with some kind of pan head bolt and space the mount with washers and a combination of grinding.

How do the more expensive but simular mount kits get round the problem? I know hasport are a completely different design, are the ones I have a cheap copy of HCP mount? Or do the US trannys not have that bolt? All my engine/gearbox is UK spec but the mounts and axles were imported.

These ebay mounts appear to have a little spacer on the underside. I could cut up some tube and weld it to the underside of the mount, does anyone think that would cock up axle alignment?

Welcome to ebay.

100 dollar mounts dont fit right odd

Re: H22 EG civic mount issue
 

$175-225 Innovate mounts don't fit right. For $100 you got your money's worth if you can successfully ward off a mugger with one of those mounts, without it breaking and leaving you defenseless.

Its sad hcp went out of business I never had problems with there stuff. David at jdmshit is gone too he was the hcp dude. Hasport for the win.


I have never understood saying you dont have money to do a swap. Ok well for another 200-300 dollars you can have mounts that if there is ever a problem will get resolved. You can speak to the dude who designs/makes them. Plus your car wont shake like place racing mounts from 1998 making you curse your car.

I always heard great things about HCP. That's a damn shame.

Brian G was always super cool and shared tech and advice. I rock some old school welded aluminum HASport mounts with the orange inserts in my drag car.
