rbbeng60 0 Posted November 15, 2005 Hears some picks of the front engine mount, ready to go on a g60 at the weekend for our first stage of testing. It’s a bit heavy ,but you could loose the weight by having a dump before you drive.:lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rbbeng60 0 Posted November 15, 2005 myself and dan (coolrado)will be at the stealth rolling road day on the 27th with mounts on his g60 and a spare set to show.so anyone going wiil be able to take a look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rbbeng60 0 Posted November 15, 2005 although it would be possible for us to make solid front mounts we feel it causes too much stress on the front brace and engine to mount bracket. there are two grades of polyurethane bush harder than the ones we have chosen, but we feel we have chosen the best blend of comfort and stability, we may find after testing, alterations may need to be made and then further testing carried out before they can be put into production. we will update this post as we go with any further developments.

Lippy 0 Posted November 16, 2005 i am having to get mine done this week as they are knacked, pity as I would have tried to wait for your rbbeng60. Best of luck anyway, seen as I am buying the cheapest I can (money issues) no doubt it won't be long before they need replacing again! Lippy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the front engine mount on the C VR is different to the Golf VR but I'm sure someone can confirm this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beavis 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Yeah we'd all be interested I tyhink!!!!! I need a new front engine mount as I keep ripping my front enigine mount bracket using my solid front engine mount - Toooooo much Torque I think!! Too much agressive right foot.. you need some finesse. The mounts look top doller..very impressive pieces of kit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gibber 0 Posted December 27, 2005 rbbeng60, coolrado, how you getting on with these? You managed to get them made out off alloy yet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted December 27, 2005 sorry about this, but Ben hasnt really had time to do much work on the mounts, or even come on here to check the forum, due to his 1962 splitty project arriving in the uk a bit earlier than expected. we are both going to be working on it flat out for a while before the show season starts, i'm actually still picking the grit from the bead blaster out of my ears as i type after we started on it today :lol: . we have also been looking into farming out the manufacture of some of the mount parts to a fully automated machine shop who also have the facillity to stress test the components. they are quite time consuming to produce and if they are made in bulk the costs can be brought down and the finnished price should therefore be lower. he does still intend to go into full production with the mounts but cant promise when it will be. again sorry if any of you have been waiting for these, but ben couldnt pass up the oppertunity to get this camper when it came along and its been a dream of his for a while to get his hands on one. its a 1962, 13 window (i think) walkthrough which is soon having a brand new engine and IRS fitted as well as the full deluxe kit and safari pop outs 8) the lucky b*stard :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
