Engine mount supports

[Basil Brush]

Is anyone using the engine mount supports that Power etc are selling now? I was thinking of trying them to limit the movement when the NS mount fails but I've read on some sites that there's not enough room on a Tuscan.

For the sake of 30 quid or so per side they seem like a good idea. I've gone through NS mounts at an alarming rate over the last couple of years and it's not helping my chassis rails when the manifold ends up about 1mm away as the engine drops.

Is that the 3mm Nimbus Lite heat shielding or the thicker one Graham? I tried to do a similar thing with some of the flexible thermo-tec sheet but it hasn´t lasted very well.

Do you find that engine mounts fail that often? Any idea why?

The replacement needed at the moment will be the third NS mount in the last 2 years. They are just not designed to be sited that close to manifolds/cats so the rubber gets cooked. I´m only on my second OS mount since new.
