Anyone know where something like this is avaliable for a vitara (Sidekick/escudo/whatever).   For a 1600 16V.

 Are you looking for a captive mount for a Trackick or a 1.6 in a Sami?

Sorry should've been a little more specific.   It is for a 16V 1600 in a tracker sidekick Vitara escudo (or whatever it is called in your country).   They have the IFS front end and are coil all round.   I see the petro works ones but they are for fitting a 1600 to a samie so not quite what I want.   I might just have to have a go and fab something myself.

 Petroworks sells the mounts seperately. You could buy them and modify the frame side for your kick.

Might use a rear arm and cut that to suit.

I tried that on mine and found out that they were too stiff, you could drill a few holes through them or look into some engine mounts from an esteem (USA) not sure what the four door cars are called where you are at. the mounts that I have in mine now are from a Toyota creseda I think around 1988 maybe? it's been a while.
