Bolt in engine mount kit for fitting a Mercedes Benz OM606 into Nissan Patrol Y60 and Y61. Precision engineered brackets and heavy duty bushes, installed with no welding and no chassis modification.
This bracket set locates a Mercedes Benz OM606 in a Y60 or Y61 Nissan Patrol. It is a true bolt in solution: the engine goes in without cutting, welding or modifying the chassis, which is the stage of an OM606 swap that normally absorbs the most workshop time.
The brackets and bushes are made for strength, durability and precise fitment, so the engine sits where the rest of the conversion expects to find it.
The argument for bolting rather than welding is not really about labour. It is about what welding does to a Patrol chassis that has already done twenty or thirty years. Cutting and welding mounts means heat, grinding and new bare steel in exactly the places that are hardest to protect and hardest to inspect afterwards, on a vehicle that probably lives outdoors. A bolt in bracket set leaves the chassis as it was found.
The second argument is repeatability. A welded mount is a decision made once by one pair of hands, and if it is a few millimetres out the whole drivetrain inherits the error. Brackets that locate off existing points put the engine in the same place every time, which is why this kit is worth buying even in a workshop perfectly capable of making its own.
The OM606 Engine Mount Kit includes:
Five items. Two chassis side brackets, the engine side brackets, the bushes and the guidance to fit them. It holds the engine in the vehicle and stops there.
The rest of an OM606 swap is a separate list, and it is worth seeing it written down before you start: the engine itself, a fuel pump, the transmission adapter kit, a flywheel assembly, a clutch package, cooling system integration components, intercooler and boost pipework, fuel system parts and exhaust integration components. Every one of those is in our Nissan Patrol OM606 conversion kit, and that kit already includes its own bolt on engine mounts. So buy this mount kit on its own, or buy that kit, but not both.
Builders who already have an OM606 and a plan for what goes behind it. That is usually someone who bought a donor Mercedes, or who is doing a mechanical diesel conversion in stages and wants the engine physically in the vehicle before committing to the rest. It is also the part a workshop orders when a customer arrives with an engine and half a project.
Confirm two things. First, whether the vehicle is a Y60 or a Y61, since those are the models this kit is listed for. Second, what you intend to put behind the engine, because the mounts fix where the engine sits and therefore where the gearbox ends up. If the gearbox plan is not settled, settle it before the engine is bolted down rather than afterwards.
If your Patrol is not a Y60 or Y61, or you are unsure, send us the vehicle details and we will tell you honestly whether this kit suits it.
