So, does it bolt straight on the same as I’ve seen the other torque mount videos with just two bolts. Or is there some fiddly work to do with the bracket?

I think he said it fits as a glove

Does anybody know how much these are direct from Ford, PumaSpeed are offering them for £124.90(inc VAT).

I just bought one from Ford directly, but with the Privilege Discount - £99.
Also, just confirming that it contains the mount AND bracket, pre-bolted as a single unit. There's even paint marks on the joining bolt, so it must be torqued to spec for our convenience!

I wonder the price without a discount...

I order this one aswell, but first need to get my strut bar

An image I found over on the Facebook page, albeit a Puma ST.

Where/how does this ⬇

…fit here ⬇ (@Scaifey22 , I hope you don’t mind me using your pictures)

I’m struggling to see where the bracket fits ⬆.
Thanks, 🤙

Remove the original bracket, seen in last pic, right on the pic with the two bolts, it's a complete replacement

Ohhh, makes sense now. I’ve only seen the aftermarket ones that slot in between. So they should line up with the existing holes. I wonder what the torque setting is…Thanks 👍

This was posted on Facebook for the Mk8 one but people are saying they seem really high. Let us know what it feels like!

These are the torque setting from Mountunes website for their mount
Recommended torque settings: Subframe: 50Nm | Gearbox side: 45Nm.

 

[Dragunov]

I guess it's for the subframe and the bracket

Cause those of Mountune is only for the mount itself

@Scaifey22, where did you purchase those ramps?

Found this in the workshop manual (although it is for the 1.1 Fiesta) -

 

[MarkP80]

And this -

- both seem to suggest 115Nm for the mount's bolts. I haven't found the settings for the bracket/casing torque.

 

[MarkP80]

Ah, here it is, but again, it's the 1.0L so the bracket is a different shape to the 1.5 engine
(2 snips because it goes over 2 pages)

 

[MarkP80]

That's pretty tight! What size thread is it?

Update:

I fitted the part today, and the mount + bracket combo is a straight swap.

It was mostly easy, but the bracket bolt located at the top is a real pain to access and I couldn't properly fit anything but the smallest wrench on it.

I didn't know the torque settings, but the torque wrench I used was set to around 130 nm and was clicking without tightening the existing mount bolts any further. So that's what I tried tightening the bolts to.

Except that pain one. Which was tightened 'as best I could without rounding it', though I did use loctite on it.

When it goes in for its next service, I'll probs just ask them to check the torque for me.

 

[Dragunov]

So we need a service manual to know how to fit the bracket bolt at the top perfectly

I wonder which tool they use to get this bolt to the correct specs if it's nearly impossible to reach it
