A couple of companys make what they call an unbreakable mount. Uses a trailing arm bush as the rubber mount. Aparrently they last a long time, the bush is cheap to replace. And if it does break, the engine is still held in place by a bolt.

your best bet would be to cut them off a wrecked td42 or petrol chassis. 3lt chassis is different whereas the 4.2 and petrol chassis' are the same.

Chassi is the same. Just the mounts might be in a different spot.

They are completely different mounts in a different location to the petrols and 4.2 diesels. As the mounts are welded to the chassis they are in fact different.

You could always make different brackets for the engine and use the stock ZD mounts.
