Not sure steve but every m32 I have seen 2nd hand still has that section fitted

[siztenboots]

slightly better view, it seems a standard GM part that converts the casing to the familiar 3 bolts astra mount

its okay, pretty sure this lower LH side bracket is standard with the box itself. I'm just trying to get astra mk5 mount dimensions atm

[NickB787]

standard vauxhall astra H M32 mount, approx £25 inc vat from any vauxhall dealer

[vocky]

The Lotus Europa rear mount (number 3) is required, over £100 from Lotus For the front mount (number 5) you can use the vx220 mount - it just needs slightly modifying

Anyone got a P/N for no's 3 and 5? I'll see what I can those for as well.

[Dave E]

No.3 is £160+vat, I'm sure it's gone up, iirc I paid £135+vat at the beginning of the year.

Right then, its a non-lotus part and we're currently looking into the original source. I will post back

It has to be from a car with a M32 gearbox ........

but it's not from: Alfa Brera / Astra H / Zafira B / Vectra C / Corsa D as I've had all of those mounts at some point in time

I'll poke podge again. He said he'd look to see what it came from.

Aaaannd.. Who's making up a cheaper version of the Europa drive shafts..?

Ps.- Might be interested in one of these mounts too..

Pps. - And not wanting to turn it into a general M32 discussion, but would this work with the Z22SE..?

not really sure, it's a cdti clutch and flywheel if you want to retain the heavy DMF then simply purchase it with the M32 from which ever z22yh vehicle you purchase the box from

standard vauxhall astra H M32 mount, approx £25 inc vat from any vauxhall dealer

Is N°2 about ? Which Astra reference ? Have got it ?

Please confirm if N°2 could be replaced by Astra H engine mount ?

[vocky]

number 25 is the standard astra H M32 mount adaptor bracket = £25 from any vauxhall/opel dealer or £10 from a car breakers number 2 is Lotus Europa M32 only, now obsolete and no longer available = was over £100 new from Lotus, secondhand only option

I have not made any of no.2 as believe FLD may have found a supplier of some kind but have the drawings to make no.5 - I modded the original setup to work and spot on no.3 - I made a bracket to reuse the turbo oe gearbox mount (3 hole one), made in draft and drawn up and making this week I have also made custom shafts for the vxr / 6 speed conversion into n/a instead of the europa shafts. As in joined with machined sleeve to join the astra to vx ones If interested I could maybe provide the full set as a kit and you would just need to put it together - certainly works out a lot cheaper than buying the europa bits for the conversion DG
