The present invention relates to an engine mount (5 see fig 5a) for mounting an internal combustion engine (3 see fig 1) in a vehicle. The engine mount (5) has at least one mounting hole (47, 49 see fig 3). At least one fixing point (53 see fig 2b) is provided for mounting the internal combustion engine 3 to the engine mount (5). One or more ducts 11, 13, 15 are provided for conveying operating fluids for the internal combustion engine (3). The ducts 11, 13, 15 are formed integrally with the engine mount (5), which is provided as a casting (5) including flanges 19, 25 for the ducts. A duct lies in the plane of a reinforcement web (9 see fig 2a). The invention simplifies the routing of conduits, to avoid resultant inefficiencies. |
