24V Renshaw 0 Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) On my previous Rado I made my own polyurethane inserts for the VR6 front engine mount. They were simply replacements for the horrible soft "waffle" rubber OEM ones. They absolutely transformed the engine movement without any noticeable increase in cabin noise/vibration, so I am planning on doing the same in my new VR. Thing is the uprated mounts you can buy seem ridiculously expensive for what they are and I was thinking about getting a batch of simple replacement inserts made for the standard VR mount, so it should be a very cheap alternative. Would anyone be interested, or should I just get one made for myself again? The previous one is still installed and working perfectly in the car under Vicks ownership some 7 years later :) Jay UPDATE 15/11/11 OK I NOW HAVE PRICES! Complete set front and rear will be £54 delivered. This will be a complete polyurethane bush set for both the front mount and rear off side mount including stainless steel hardware to fit them. Those who just want the front one it will be £29 delivered. In order for me not to have to fork out hundreds of pounds on the off chance people want these I need to take payment first in order to get the batch made. So if you could please paypal the £54 to me [email protected] as a gift I will get things moving asap. Currently all taken now, but if you want to be on a reserve list let me know.... 1. 24v RenshawBoth (PAID) 2. coullstar Both (PAID) 3. EnthusiastownedBoth (PAID) 4. 3corsameal Both (PAID) 5.

Jim Bowen 1 Posted November 11, 2011 i am about to replace all my mounts, gearbox and engine, was going to make a thread about which i should buy, but not got there yet. i would be interested in some. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iceviolet 0 Posted November 11, 2011 I would be interested in these, been looking at getting some for a while but been mega busy alately so not had much Corrado time. Things are getting back on track now though. When i was looking before i found BFI do sets at reasonable prices, but then theres shipping costs etc from the states. Maybe a group buy would solve this? check the link http://store.blackforestindustries.com/engine3.html So what we need to know is what kind of prices would a similar set cost to be made in the uk? Then weigh up the options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted November 11, 2011 Me too, certainly a front one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robo22sri 10 Posted November 11, 2011 Interested also :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted November 12, 2011 OK given the interest I will look into costs etc. Will certainly be able to do the front and rear ones with appropriate shore hardness poly. The gearbox one is best just OEM or replaced with a solid G60 type one. I need one before the end of the month so I will not be messing about!

24V Renshaw 0 Posted November 12, 2011 Got all the dimensions to make some enquiries on Monday. Will keep you all posted. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted November 14, 2011 OK. Done some initial enquires and need to establish what people would commit to in terms of front mount and rear mount or both? I am hoping to get this under a total of £40/50 for both front and rear inserts. So could you please state front/rear/both and I will start a list.
