Rear Engine Mountings

[Deleted]

I am from Australia and trying to buy a set of Rear Engine Mounts ( Part No 527181 ) for my friend who has a Rover P5 series 2 Rover Sedan. We have exhausted all avenues here in Australia without success. We have been told to try overseas.
I have emailed J. R. Wadhams Ltd. twice requesting information re supply of the parts but received no reply. I have also emailed [e-mail] ( the address obtained from the Rover Parts Suppliers U.K. Internet site ) but the email was returned as undelivered due to an incorrect email address. Could any member of this forum assist me with any information regarding the procurement of these parts.
Any help would be appreciated.

Take a look at the following links to McKay Products. They're an Australian company that produce Automotive, Marine & Industrial rubber isolation mounts, etc.

(The above is a large PDF...best downloaded to view.)
From p. 81 there is a photo album of all the mounts they produce. You may find something suitable.

There is a place near Dallas, Texas called Kip Motors, their website is, www.kipmotor.com
They might have some mounts.

As always, give Pierre Janusz a try: [e-mail]. He's based in England, but uses Paypal and ships to the U.S. without problems.

Has there been and follow up to this thread, I'm looking for some P5 engine mounts, especially rear, for a mate's Mk III P5. I have tried the usual suspects without much success.

I am surprised any of the usual suspects cannot assist you and or have not replied to you.


If this is the case then I would say you will need to liase with a local engineer in your area who will no doubt be able to make you up a pair and or adapt some for your needs.

I have just looked on ebay.co.uk and spotted 2 sets of engine mounts for P5 and P5B as well as the former suitable for other Rover models albeit the seller in Derby states they are not OEM spec but will fit. Would these be an option for you as they are fairly cheap and the seller will post overseas if buyer contacts him directly.

Worth a punt I think.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. Just checked eBay, but they're front mounts, I'm looking for rear ones - any steers? Ken

Wadhams is where I bought my 3-litre engine mounts (and pretty much everything else too).


Wadhams takes a holiday in August and December. Also I suspect that Marsha pretty much runs it on her own, so is often a little slow to respond by email. I have spoken to her many times on the phone and she has always been very helpful.

COI: I also live in Australia.
