T25 Engine Rear Bracket Mounting Kit - 1985-92 - Waterboxer Engines

This rear engine brace mounting hardware kit supplies the correct fixings required to secure the rear engine support / brace to the engine on VW Type 25 (T3) buses fitted with 1.9 or 2.1 Waterboxer engines. It is designed specifically to mount the engine bracket (025199221A) correctly and securely, ensuring proper engine support and reduced drivetrain movement.

Ideal for restorations, engine refits, or replacing missing or corroded original hardware.


What this kit does (and why it matters)

The rear engine brace plays a vital role in supporting the Waterboxer engine and controlling engine movement under load. Missing or incorrect fixings can lead to:

  • Excessive engine movement

  • Increased stress on engine mounts and exhaust components

  • Vibration and driveline noise

  • Premature wear of surrounding components

This kit ensures the brace is mounted using the correct bolts and washers, restoring factory-style support and alignment.


How it works

The bolts secure the rear engine brace to the engine-mounted bracket, while the washers distribute the clamping load evenly to prevent loosening or damage to the mounting surfaces. Correct hardware length and strength are essential to maintain clamping force through vibration and heat cycles.


Kit contents

Supplied as a complete fixing kit:

  • 3 x mounting bolts

  • 3 x washers

Everything required to mount one rear engine brace.

Helpful fitting notes

  • Designed to be used with engine bracket 025199221A.

  • Always inspect the rear engine brace and mounts for cracks or damage during installation.

  • Torque fixings evenly and recheck after initial run-in if the engine has been removed or rebuilt.
