2030 engine mounts

[sailaboutvic]

I have the Perkins M20 recommended shore hardness 45 front and rear,strange how the Volvo 2020 has different hardness front and rear for what is the same engine,same with the M30 and 2030.

There are also colour coded .

Ok not the same bed ,
mine is GRP under each mounting there a hole in the side just probably big enough to get a bit of a turn on the spanner.
inside the hole you can just about feel a bolt ,
so what I was asking , is the bolt that goes through that then thought the engine mount plate ,
do it has to be removed before the plate will come away or does it have to be remove through the small hold first .
the reason I’m asking is because if it need to be remove first I need to get some blue tack so it stick to the spanner,otherwise I can see it disappearing in a black hole .
im sure it all come to light once I start to work on it , but the whole reason for the posting is so I’m awe what I’m going to fined .
Bolt 21 .

Mine only have the securing bolts either end on the mount. My mounts are vetus so completely different to yours. Sounds like a tricky job, sorry I couldn't be more help

other then measuring the distance where the old mounts sat on the engine ( nuts heights ) any thing else to help the job go smoothly ?

I used a combination square to measure between top of the mount plate to the bearer. I also drew round the mounts on the bearer with a permanent marker before removing. I changed one mount at a time and the rears I found it easiest to remove the mounting plate from the engine and then remove the bolts securing to the bearer. My measurements were to help me putting it back in the same place as it was. Afterwards I have done a shaft alignment using feeler gauges, seems ok, time will tell.
