Which engine mounts.

[Alun450]

What are the best engine mountings, original or after market.
I'm going to be jacking the engine and re tightening mine tomorrow but there probably shot!
Just wondering.

I got some uprated ones from SC Power with the rest of my goodies, haven't fitted them yet but they look well made.

I'm changing mine tomorrow, just went for standard.
Any tips for fitting anyone?

What about the ones from Rimmers, any good?

[Mr Supercharged]

I recently fitted a set from SC Power, they looked and fitted ok. Nicely made.

Did you take off the brackets then replace mounts while off the car or just swap out the brackets? I'm going to attempt it tomorrow and I'm not sure which way would be easiest

Oh crap I haven't got those. What do they do? Are they needed? I'll be taking the body off once the garage is built (probably at least 6 months) so I might just get them swapped over then get these later on?

I recently fitted the SC ones, had to shorten the studs a bit to get them in. My old ones were starting to crack, can certainly see the new o.es have lifted the engine up a bit and it doesn't rock as much anymore. I couldn't see how to get a spanner or socket on to the bolts holding the brackets to the engine so left them in place. Took a bit of manoeuvring to get the new ones in, particularly the offside one. Had to get my girlfriend to rock the engine while I put it in to position.
