flusted 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Ive just read on JTs forsale thread that the JMR solid engine mount is 20mm to short? i recently bought 1 of these mounts secondhand and didnt realise this. can i add a 20mm shim between the mount and the engine bracket?

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 7, 2007 20mm too short, or 20mm shorter than the OE mount? It's normal for uprated mounts to be shorter as the material is less compressable and takes into account the OE mount's compressed height..... although I can't speak of JMR's as I haven't seen it. I should imagine shimming it is possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dom 0 Posted February 7, 2007 any body got anymore knowledge on the mount buying this off jt as my front one is broken so figured better to buy this than a gsf one at twice the price Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted February 7, 2007 mmmm Bit of a contentious issue here but I binned my JMR front mount after it tore 3 mount brackets. I've now got an uprated one from G-werks which isn't expensive and FAR better - especially bearing in mind the torque I'm running! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted February 8, 2007 I'm running a JMR mount on my 252BHP G60 with no problems whatsoever and have been for the last 30K miles... 8) Make sure you've replaced the other 2 engine/gearbox mounts and the 4 rubber bushes that hold on the front cross member and you should have no problems... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then I also have a much heavier right foot than you do! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted February 8, 2007 I had one on my G60 and it was fine. It came loose once but some loctite and a socket with about 3 extention bars sorted that. No probs at all :) EDIT: You want to ask LJ about how it's fairing now as he bought my car off me! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
