Lost one of those giant motor mount bolt on Pro Solo Sunday...



#11 and #34.... had Honda dealer trying to locate the part for me but apparently no dealer in the country has the #11 part.
Maybe I can replace both with aftermarket parts?

Help?

I'm too lazy too look it up, but isn't there a stock allowance for alternate hardware (equivilent/heavier/non-advantagious).

If so, I bet McMaster Carr has something just that size (bolt ). Depending on the material, they probably have an equivilent to #11 to (especiially if its aluminum).

yeah, what he said. you don't have to buy all the bolts from the dealer. Only bolts that one would consider 'performance limiting' like rod bolts or head bolts do you need to be careful. I doubt anyone could make a solid protest on motor mount bolts. Obviously, you can't replace them with titanium or aluminum, but any steel bolt should work fine.

I can still buy the bolt #34... but not #11.
I do not even know the function or the material of it. I only know that it's black in color so maybe made out of rubber?
On the part description, it is listed as "WEIGHT, RR. ENGINE MOUNTING".

Looks like a junkyard search is in your future.

11 looks like a bushing spacer. May still be able find something close at McMaster.

guess you'll just have to throw away your car. sorry...

It's too bad you don't know anyone with an 89 civic that could look at theirs and measure it for you.

Stuff from Mc-Carr will likely be cheaper and better that what you get from the dealer, and you can likely will call it (SantaFeSprings) within a couple hours.

There is a civic for sale on sccaforums for $2500. Then you would have lots of spare parts! You could be eco aware by not throwing away your old car.

The junkyard is your friend on this one.

Steel spacer
Length = 26.5mm
OD = 28mm
ID = 12.32mm

There is also a washer that goes between the spacer and bolt head. It's not on the parts list so I would assume it comes with #34...

Thank you Shane!!
I found the metal spacer I need from local junk yard.
My first time at the junk yard lol!!! Had to borrow tools from other customers too lol!
