http://www.sc-power.co.uk/Poly%20Engine%20Mounts%2... just bagged some of these babies,my replacement mounts are collapsing after only 18 months so these are going on next week.

That Daddy,

Do you support the engine on a block of wood on the sump or use the front pulley, I am going to fit a pair too as mine are torn.

Sump with a block of wood jacking(know it sounds obvious but keep bonnet open)do one at a time,then leave everything loose(both sides)to allow you to rock/juggle engine in the mounts to give equal clearance between the manifolds and chassis mountings(pre cat area of manifold runs close to chassis)well this is what i did anyways,look from gearbox area towards the front of the car you will see what i mean,possibly about an hours work and a ratchet spanner comes in very handyjust one thing dont misplace the spacer on 1 mounting only.

Thanks for advice That Daddy.

Well i have fitted them,noticed they are a bit longer also so thats good,but the bit your interested in,yes they do transmit a few vibes into the car and certainly wouldent hide a badly balanced motor or one thats running sick,once rolling you dont notice it but you can feel the motor is more vibey on idle(not helped by the cam)i am glad i did this seeing as the last pattern set have done only 10K,and i dont drive the car like an Animal the motor is a lot more solidly mounted now and wont need those modded aftermarket brackets/braces that are used on the stock type of mounting as by design they are already built into the design anyways they are made by Sc Power if anyones interested and i am glad i made the change.
