Up Rated Engine Mounts

[Guest whiz]

Im looking for uprated engine mounts for my S7 I'm using the ford cylindrical type with the threaded bar out each end came off the pinto. I need stiffer ones as the engine moves about a bit to much for my liking. Does anyone know of a supplier possibly polyurethane .

simply new ones will be better than old ones.

 

or you could try places like this http://www.antivibrationmethods.com/Products/Bobbins/BobbinMount/tabid/193/Default.aspx for custom ones.

An interesting point is that everyone who uses a pinto uses the ford metalwork and the oem mounts which are big, wobbly (even when new) expensive and becoming harder to get and finding uprated ones is going to sting in the pocket.

Everyone who uses any other engine has to make their own mounting metalwork and then can choose from piles of cheap old landrover/morris minor/spitfire/unidentifiable rubber mounts which can be as firm or soft as you like at the shows at £4 a pair.

£10 for the steel, a couple of hours of time, £5 tops (delux versions) for the mounts. Don't just stick with the pinto bits. It's build it yourself.
