Default Vibra Technics Gearbox Mounts???

I have Deflex poly gearbox mounts fitted at the moment but they are utter shite! The bolts keep shearing and falling out. I replaced them twice and even the stonger bolts that Deflex sent me have sheared. I hear that Deflex are no more so doubt i will be able to get replacement bolts again and wanted to know if this is likely to happen to the more expensive more superior Vibra technics mounts. Im sure that there is a lot of ppl using them so any feedback before i purchase them would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Steve.

I have used vibra technics on many Rs Turbos and Xr2s and never had a problem even at 300bhp.

Quality product.

I have used the deflex suspension bushes (not the gearbox mounts) before and got to say I wasnt overly impressed. I would only fit them again if I was building a real budget track shitter or looking to replace bushes no longer supplied by ford for an MOT on a daily driver.

They are cheap and cheerful more than a top end well engineered product.

That dosnt sound good but im not running 400bhp and prob never will be.

I had to drill the holes in the cradle out to fit the Deflex mounts and after looking at pictuers of the Vibra Technics mounts im guessing that they fit the OEM holes?
