Fitted both mounts today,front took about 20 mins as you said jay .Back mount what a nitemare all went well until i tried to loosen the 17mm bolt through the centre of the mount,it sheared off had to take intake rubber off,the alliuminium engine mount attached to the block off so i could wiggle it out.changed the rubber insert with the new etc then had to mig a bolt onto the top off the old stubb refitted it all ....should have taken 45 mins but 2 hours later lol but alls well that ends well made a huge difference to my car, feels much more positive now,the old rubbers were totalled like mushrooms when i took them out

Nothing is ever simple eh! Glad you got it done in the end though. How do you find it? I think the lower poly piece in the rear mount needs to be 60 shore hardness (currently 70) having lived with it for a few weeks as a daily it transmits a touch too much vibration at idle. I had 60 shore originally and it was more factory feeling with no vibration.

fitted these the other week & agree its not a bad job at all really. thanks loads Jay.... need to road test them now, MOT booked for 29th :D

Glad people are starting to fit these. This new batch has a slightly softer lower rear mount which makes the idle exactly the same as factory but retains the tight feel.

If no-one gets an answer tonight, i will have a look at mine tomorrow, i've still got mine in the tube, one of those jobs that seems to always be on the back burner.

Hey Jay are you thinking about getting any more of these done? I need to replace the mounts on my VR and this seems like the best option :D

I would be intersted in some if another batch were to be made.

[Craig 0]

Does anyone know jay or if he was planning to run another batch of these? If not I'll have to see what else is about at extra cost :(

I'm currently looking to get vibratchnics mounts so would be interested in these inserts if a second batch is going ahead.
