JIOTAR 212cc Engine Mount Plate Kit for Predator 212 6.5HP — 5x12 in Steel with Grommets

JIOTAR's 212cc engine mount plate kit is a heavy-gauge steel mounting solution designed to adapt Harbor Freight Predator 212cc (6.5HP) and similar small engines to custom frames or equipment.

If you need a durable, universal mounting plate that fits most 2–6.5HP small engines, this kit supplies a welded-or-bolted plate plus automotive-grade hardware and vibration-isolating grommets. It’s built to accept common bolt patterns used by Predator, Briggs & Stratton clones, Tecumseh-style and Honda-type engines, letting you secure an engine to go-karts, pressure washers, mowers, or other DIY projects.

How does this plate fit the Predator 212cc 6.5HP engine?

The plate’s hole spacing and slot layout match widely used small-engine patterns, so the Predator 212 bolts up with minimal modification. Slots allow slight positional adjustment for alignment, and the kit includes grommets and washers to protect the engine and frame from vibration.

• Plate dimensions: approximately 12" long × 5.25" wide for stable support.
• Bolt center-to-center spacing: 6.5" long × 3-1/8" wide for standard patterns.
• Slots positioned 1.25" from each end for alignment flexibility.
• Includes rubber grommets to dampen vibration and reduce wear.

What hardware is included and what will I need to install it?

The kit ships with the main plate plus a set of automotive-grade fasteners and vibration accessories so you can bolt the engine directly to the plate or weld the plate into your frame. You may need basic hand tools for bolting or access to welding equipment if you prefer a permanent attachment.

• Included: one 5" × 12" heavy gauge steel plate, 4 bolts, 4 nylock nuts.
• Also included: 8 large flat washers and 8 rubber grommets for isolation.
• Tools commonly required: wrench set, torque wrench, and optional welder.
• Confirm engine bolt pattern and thickness before final installation.

Will this plate work with other small engines like Briggs & Stratton or Honda clones?

Yes — the JIOTAR plate was designed to be compatible with multiple small-engine formats, including Briggs & Stratton-style, Tecumseh, Honda and many clone layouts from about 2HP up to 6.5HP. Check your engine’s bolt centers against the plate measurements to ensure a direct fit.

• Advertised compatibility: Predator 212cc 6.5HP and similar engines.
• Works with many Briggs & Stratton and Honda-clone engines within 2–6.5HP range.
• Adjustable slots help accommodate slight variations in bolt spacing.
• Recommended: measure your engine’s bolt centers before purchase.

How durable and reliable is the mounting plate under regular use?

The plate is pressed from heavy-gauge steel and finished to resist corrosion and wear, providing a long service life when installed correctly. Rubber grommets and proper torqueing reduce fatigue on both the engine and the frame, improving durability for routine hobby or light-commercial use.

• Heavy gauge steel construction for robust support under load.
• Automotive-grade fasteners included for secure attachment.
• Vibration-damping grommets reduce stress and noise transfer.
• Welding option available for permanent, high-strength mounts.

Who is this for: This JIOTAR 212cc engine mount plate kit suits builders, tinkerers and small-scale fabricators who need a reliable, universal mounting solution for Predator 212cc and similar small engines. It’s ideal for go-kart and mini-bike projects, pressure washer and generator builds, lawn equipment repairs, or any custom application where a stout, adjustable engine-to-frame connection is required. Verify measurements before installation to ensure fit and choose welding or bolting based on whether you want a removable or permanent mount.
