I would not even consider driving a car in that situation.
There is clearly an issue here that needs resolving with these items, not just hoping its ok.
Its one of the big problems these days with the more recent availability of cheaper cnc kit, people start copying and selling things without the engineering knowledge, they then replicate faults without realising it.
I see so much for sale out there now that I would not fit to a wheelbarrow never mind a high performance road car. It looks pretty so the sheep then fit it anyway!
So you wouldn’t fit any of my parts to your wheel barrow? My mounts look the same as the OP and this is the first I’ve ever heard of anybody not being happy with them. My mounts don’t just go on road cars there on rally cars over in Ireland that have terrible roads and there has never been an issue,
There also my mark wrights RS500 Touring Car that won’t silverstone classic last year and again no problems reported back.
I’ve called Mark Wright today asking what he thought about the plate and Dominic over in Ireland that had bought them for rally use, both say there perfect for the job.
I’ve offered Marc on here his money back as I’m an honest guy and I wouldn’t sell something that isn’t fit for use I don’t operate like that people in the Ford world who buy my parts know how I operate.
Anyways I’m off to watch the football ciao 👍
