They've obviously re-used some old short engine mounts.
But to make them fit tight, have used cut up bits of tin can to wedge in
Good bodge !!

Ha ha reminds me of an Indian mate of mine bought a Sherpa van off a Gipsy and the engine blew up after a day. Stripped it down and there was bits of coke can behind the big end bearings to try to take up the wear. Still got the bits somewhere i'll take a pic.stokky wrote:Old Indian GP150 casing.

Maybe the Indian mechanic in question read some of the posts on British scooter forums about not needing to heat the casings before removal of old or fitting of new mounts, which is best practice to keep the interference fit (lol)!
I did a few Helicoils for a mate years ago on a Lammy engine he had picked up on a trip to India years before. The two M8 studs that are used for the exhaust bracket were leaking oil. So I un-screwed them and the last Indian owner had welded very fat self tapping wood screws to one half of the M8 studs then in the engine block was hammerd Rawl plugs.
