There doesn't seem to be a 'diesel' spec one any more mate.

 

Part number - 191199402C seems to cover all MK2s and some Corrados.

A valiant effort V-Dubstar and totally appreciate your point about not wanting to take on distribution of parts for a £7 saving! Guess it's every man for himself now then!

See Page 3 of this thread, I've already approached the seller of the solid VR6 front mounts about a potential group buy on these and he has promised to come back to me in the next few days with a price - I'm hoping around £45.00 each delivered, but will have to wait and see.

 

It will be the same as his E Bay one with 3 minor differences:

 

1) It will be 100% crack detected to ensure there are no inherent flaws in the ally

 

2) It will be anodised in Chromic Acid which still gives corrosion protection but retains all the inherent strength of the material

 

3) The bolt will be Zinc Plated & Colour Passivated rather than just blackened as again it gives superior corrosion protection and being grade 12.9 steel it will be heat treated both prior and post plating to remove embrittlement stresses from the plating process.

 

Be interested in numbers, hopefully 10 people would be enough to get a good price.

 

Cheers,

 

Ian.

I fitted one of these recently as whilst I an more than happy with how it performs, I've had an issue with it already, as has Cazza.

 

Was a funny noise from the front last night so took it easy and investigated this morning. Was very surpised to find the bolt had fallen out the bottom of the mount! I had certainly tightened it when fitted last week, but on advice from Cazza was due to check. His top bolt had worked loose!

 

I replaced the bolt but the replacement was slightly short and only covered about 4 winds of thread - promptly stripped the thread from the mount without even applying much force. I managed to get a really long bolt and applied locking compound (as per Kev's suggestion elsewhere) so hopefully this will help but will keep a close eye.

 

Two things then to beware of -

> you can't torque the bolts right up due to the nature of the alloy.

> The bolts may have a tendancy to loosen, so locking compound is a must.

 

I'm not saying this to put people off, just sharing info to hopefully benefit all when they go to fit. :)

I've had a Road going front mount in for 12 years. It's been fine and never touched it.

If I were you guys I'd go for set of Black Forest Industry mints.

 

Think it's about £160 delivered for a set of 3 from the states. I picked up a front mount for £45 when I was in the US last year...
