Hey everyone, I have a quick question that I have searched for the past day with no real headway. I’ve consulted another fellow dsm’er and he wasn’t sure either. I was going thru some old storage bins and found a couple of old tensioner brackets/engine mount brackets and there are two different casting numbers “826” and “827” the 827 seems to be the one that is on all of the engines I have. There is a slight variance in the mounting position for the engine mount itself. I’m just curious as to if one is for an auto or if it is from a completely different vehicle. I’m not sure where they even came from, nor is this a major issue. Just seeing if there is a specific application for the “826” bracket vs the “827” any input is greatly appreciated!

With motor mount brackets and some other choice parts, Mitsubishi had the tendency to cast, stamp, or mark in some fashion the last three digits of the original part number onto the part (see: motor mount bracket????). The same can be said here.

MD135826 - was used in non-turbo vehicles, 1990-1993
MD135827 - was used in turbo vehicles, 1990-1993

These were superseded in 1994 by MD195093 and MD195094, respectively.

Makes very good sense, thank you for the reply. I appreciate the info. I wish that post would’ve come up in a search. I wouldn’t have had to even make a post. I even tried using the technical term for the backet that is in the fsm with no avail. Again thank you very much!
