Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide an engine-mounting bracket in which a bracket is formed with cutout portions, thereby eliminating the conventional practice of hole matching, with concomitantly enhanced convenience of assembly, and further which the castability of the engine-mounting bracket provides fewer components, easy manufacture, and reduced costs. To this end, the engine-mounting bracket positioned between an engine and a vehicle body comprises a bracket, which is fitted to one of the engine and the vehicle body, and a bush which is attached to the other thereof. The bush is fixedly secured to the bracket between supporting arm portions of the bracket by means of a fixing bolt. In addition, the bracket has cutout portions defined at the supporting arm portions for fixing the bush to the bracket.
