Default Beam and Diff mounts (advice please).

Over the winter i'll be fitting a fully adjustable Beam and would like some advice as to the best mounts (solid, poly, standard??) to use for the Beam and Diff.

What your opinions, through experience.
Guidance on price would also be appreciated.
thanks

Poly diff mount with std beam mounts and GGR axle tightening kit, was the best set up I've used, having recently gone to a 22mm adjustable rear arb, all I can say is get it done asap.

Tightening kit was used in conjunction with the standard beam mounts to reduce them flexing.

I guess then the solid mounts would be better than, std mounts and tightening kit.
Diff mount is £125 on R&B site, any cheaper suppliers ?

Nash. You going tonight ?

They are like a Nylon spacer that fits between the standard mounts and the chassis, i have a kit at home thats never been used, Pollys or solids only cost a little bit more though. I have pollys in at the momment and i will be fitting my solids over the winter.
