Damping Block, Engine Mount, Engine Mounting Bracket / Engine Mount, Opel Ascona / Manta B
To dampen vibrations and enhance ride comfort, the powertrain is not rigidly mounted to the body but is suspended via various damping elements. While the Kadett C, for example, uses a standard round rubber-metal element, the engineers behind the Ascona and Manta B devised something more complex. The result is this engine damping block, which is installed once on the left and once on the right between the engine and the front axle.
This part is our own superb reproduction in original quality and fits all Ascona and Manta B models. Of course, we supply the part with nuts and washers, ready for immediate installation.
By the way, this engine mount also fits various Rekord E models that have the square mount installed. Unfortunately, it cannot be installed if the original mount was round. But if it’s square, then it fits ;-)
Be sure to order it along with this: the heat shield for the right engine mount!
edelschmiede Info:
If you’re looking to make your old Opel a bit more nimble around corners, you can also install the 6-cylinder version from the Manta/Ascona. This provides significantly stiffer suspension for the powertrain, making it nice and taut. The “large” engine mounts can be installed plug-and-play.
