    Poly engine mounts

    Has anybody had any luck with the poly engine mount inserts from the States like these .

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem=

    I've emailed prothane for info on there dimensions but haven't had a reply yet.
    They are a very good price if they were to fit.

    I was looking for some, but couldnt find any that werent £300.

    So, i bought a bar of nylon and made my own. Cost was about £38 for them all, but then you do need to have access to a lathe and milling machine

    Crumbs, they look serious pieces of kit!

    How are you planning to get the rubber out of the casings Peter? Based on my experience with flexane mounts I did, I wouldn't recommend burning them out, particularly as load bearing ones are fluid filled and I don't know how toxic the fluid is. Mine had torn away anyway so I cut out what I could, donned a breathing mask and goggles and then used a drill with a wire brush in it. Downside to that method is that you get little bits of rubber flicked everywhere!

    These ones John

    They were about £74 including delivery and marked as a gift so no nasty tax. Slightly cheaper than the other ones I mentioned at the start of the post. Seller supplied tracking info and comms were very good.

    I generally use the burning out method as well Kieran . I have a proper respirator mask but if I find somebody to press them out I'll maybe go that way.

    sorry but burn is not good idea, good idea is a hammer and chisel, 'coz stock rubber have steel border, and if you burn out rubber, you still need remove this steel border.

    sorry not have photos, but process is pretty simple

    Thanks Catalan I wasn't sure if the shell was still used or removed. I usually cut a slit with a hack saw and that allows the shell to be knocked out fairly easily.
