Another Spree Hybrid Project
Just started a new spree project and I will be throwing in a SYM Dio type motor, Ill keep it bone stock, well with the exception of a aftermarket speed pulley, rejetting and unrestricting. pics below
I sprayed the rims gloss white yesterday, Im thinking of painting the body red, and also adding a rear trunk. The spree/dio mount pictured above was from a 94 elite s mount, it was shortened so that the rear tire has clearance between the rear fender, and also notice that the tounge piece is also repositioned.
how much shorter compared to an 87 mount?diosoljah wrote:I sprayed the rims gloss white yesterday, Im thinking of painting the body red, and also adding a rear trunk.

Im not sure, I was trying to find an 87 mount but couldnt, its freaking hard to score one so had to use what i had an s mount, even those s mounts are getting pretty elusive.85stroka wrote:how much shorter compared to an 87 mount?diosoljah wrote:I sprayed the rims gloss white yesterday, Im thinking of painting the body red, and also adding a rear trunk.

Yes can be, use a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar and a piece of pipe unless you have an impact, but I perfer the breaker bar-easier to tell when the bolts breaking loose- you dont want to crack the blockRabbi wrote:was it hard to remove the mount from the Dio engine?
i tried to remove mine a long time ago but had no luck
are you able to make another mount like this?
i'll give you the tail light assembly as a straight swap for one of these if you want?
let me know mate
happy new year!
Also rabbi, if they have a dj1/r/rr that mount also works but you will need to drill out the small tube to accept the larger dio bolt, or replace the bushings in the engine case with the ones from the dj1/r/rr series or honda tact/melody - not the small one but the larger one af09
Or you can grab the mount for a af22 or af21, 21 being the small bolt and the 22 being the larger bolt, the 21 runs a af09 engine and the 22 runs either a af16e or af18e ,both engines are pretty much the same but the right side half of the case has different timing ,so you need to use the magneto from that engine
so the mounts you are looking for are
af12/19
af09 -will work ok
af21/22

hey mate, how difficult is it to crack the block?85stroka wrote:Yes can be, use a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar and a piece of pipe unless you have an impact, but I perfer the breaker bar-easier to tell when the bolts breaking loose- you dont want to crack the block
when i tried to remove the bolt originally i was using a hammer to beat the end of the bolt that holds the mount to the motor... after reading your post I'm a bit worried I may have damaged it
the bolt never came loose, if that makes any difference...
