Engine mount brackets and tensioners

Heavy-duty, CNC-machined brackets for mounting an engine-drive high-pressure pump.

Engine Mount Brackets

Mounting the pump, made straightforward.

Mounting the high-pressure pump as a power take-off on your engine or generator is the biggest variable in an engine-drive install. These CNC-machined brackets make it straightforward, whether you do it yourself or use a yard.

Sliding base plate (horizontal adjustment)

Takes the guesswork out of lining up the pump with your engine's pulleys.

  • Material. CNC cut from heavy-duty 8mm aluminium, mild steel or stainless steel.
  • Travel. Over 50mm of flat sliding adjustment to set the tension on the single "A" section belt.
  • Best for. Bottom-mount positions, or mounting flat on the engine-bed stringers.

Pivot bracket (vertical adjustment)

When the pump has to sit above or below the engine, a pivoting bracket is often the best choice.

  • Tensioning. Works like an alternator bracket, pivoting vertically to adjust belt tension.
  • Material. CNC cut from 8mm mild steel or stainless steel, then TIG welded.
  • Supplied with. A stainless steel pivot pin and tensioning bolt.
  • Drain access. The large holes in the bracket leave room for the engine's water and oil drains.
