VR rubber exhaust mounts - non VW items?

[doughboy 0]

Does anyone know of a supplier of the rubber exhaust mounts other than VW themselves? On a trip to the dealer yesterday I learnt that 1 rear mount would be £25, which seems excessive to me for a piece of moulded rubber.

 

I found the following, but are they any good?

Any advice much appreciated

If it's a later mount, you will be paying for the metal bracket as well, as they are sold as one unit. If you remove your old mount, you can hacksaw off the bar that the rubber sits on and replace it with a new rubber for a couple of quid and a bolt to replace the bar.

Thanks for the tip with the hacksaw and bolt. About 30 mins ago I happened to be under the car looking at that exact thing :)
