Default Csoworth Engine Mounts

Hi, I am a returner to PF and have a Westfield kit car with a Cosworth YB fitted.
After considerable adjustments to fit into chassis I have at last got a usable motor, unfortunately the build has taken longer than expected and some of the wear items have seen better days.
After removing the engine to renew the crank and sump seals I have found that the engine mounts are past their sell by date and 1 has virtually collapsed.
As OEM units are not available what is the best option for replacement, I am still running T3 turbo with Omex 600 electrics producing circa 300lbsft torque and not expecting to tune much further as already interesting getting power down in a set up weighing 650kg.

I use Collins engine mounts in my 4x4 sapphire and they are awesome! I think they are better than vibratechnics
Regards

Thanks, I was worried that these types would be too hard as I don't expect much in the way of track use so looking for reasonable performance.
Certainly Collins look well made so will give a try.

After a bit of research I went with the Collins ones as meant to transmit less vibration.
On the road not noticed any difference over standard
