1.7 lower gearbox mount (dog bone)

[fefu17]

Hi

I'm trying to source the above for my Puma and it seems it's not a cheap common part. So I'm assuming it's different than the 1.4/1.6? I would also appreciate if you know where I can buy this online as I've been quoted around Eur 150 so far locally.

Cheers

I bought one not long ago, it was a pattern part though. It's listed for 1.4 and 1.6 but as far as I know it's ok for all puma including 1.7 (well it fit mine)

Thanks, I also found this lifetime warranty flo-flex kit for it but apparently there are 2 sizes for the smaller bush - 33mm or 35mm. I'm also guessing the size is random and not engine specific. They also said that the original 35mm bush has a steel insert so hopefully my mechanic can check that without removing it.

Be warned the polyurethane bushes for this part make the interior VERY noisy. I had them for a while but I found it unbearable so I changed back to standard (well, pattern part).

Thanks for the info...I'll try one of the 1.4/1.6 listed pattern parts then
