hi all just wonderd what rear diff mount your using on your saph,ive got all the front end done and now sorting the rear end,

thx all

 

Im in the same position at the minute.
Flowflex one, its cheap- & it looks cheap.
Motorsport developments one looks good and resonable price.
GGR one looks good too, abit dearer-worth the extra?

Inputs please

 

Got mine from rnbmotorsport and its made properly and looks the part

 

GGR best money can but,milled from a single piece alloy,not like some were pieces of alloy are glued together lol

cheeRS stu

 

I've got an Msd one, haven't had the chance to try it yet but it looks really well made and I've heard nothing but good things about them

 

pic,s

 

yea i was thinking msd

 

I have got the GGR diff mount as said it is made out of one piece of billet but I Had to adapt the upper bush bolt because it was hitting the ARB on mine, Motorsport developments one looks of equal quality with the added advantage of having the flush mounted bolts to solve this problem, I also fitted a 2wd Vibe-Tech gearbox mount on mine and some of Stu's Collins Engine mounts, all the above are the best mod I have done on it so far it vastly improves how the car feels.

 

msd one on mine, works a treat i bought mine from the first batch so it was under a 100quid think theyve gone up a touch now though

 

The best one piece CNC'd mount is this one:

How did you modify it? I like the GGR one and will most likely but one,

thanks

 

you need to get a bolt with a countersunk head make sure it has got the same tensile strength or higher than the original one, then I found a large diameter plate washer which was about three to four mm thick and countersink this so the new bolt sits flush.

you could just countersink the bush back plate but I didn't want to risk this because it is not thick enough and would probably weaken the fixing, to be quit honest I wish I had got mine from Motorsport developments it would of saved a lot of time and hassle, the only reason I got the GGR mount is because I was passing that way and wanted to lighten my wallet a bit "the last sentence is a lie because I stuck it on my Visa and increased my Debt some more

I have got some pics somewhere will find them if you want?

 

Yeah if you don't mind mate, I'm doing a resto on mine and I don't want any headaches and it needs to look good as well.....

Has any else found that these transmit more noise into the car?

My car is a road car but with a plated diff but i found mine to be too loud so i have now gone back to standard type (well a escos one instead of sierra one) but have not run car since

 

I read a lot of comments on here saying that the noise an vibration is unbearable especially when you fit an uprated gearbox mount as well, but in my opinion it hasn't made that much difference, that could have something to do with spending most of my early working life on Jack Hammers

As I have said before the way it drives now is fantastic and with the gearbox mount the gear change is now nice and tight it has lost all the sloppy feeling, I have fallen in love with it again.

 

I've used the MC racing one, that R&B sell, I got mine through a yank buddy for Ł70, and have also tried the standard bush but poly filled, which works just as well, but has the added bonus of looking normal for bufties, and of course zero fitting problems, I have around the rear of the diff the bars for the tow bar as well as a adjustable 22mm arb.
I tried the MC racing one without a roll bar for 3 months, despite having no arb it had way less roll than a std bush with a std 16mm roll bar, it stopped all the rear steering attitude.
Noise wise there was an increase in noise, but no more really than having a noisy set of tyres, it did produce a drumming sound at 65mph, this was the tank when 3/4 full at 65mph it resonates, I applied a stucko pad to the tank to change the resonant frequency and it hasn't done it since.
There is still the slight noise there, but very well worth it, it's so slight after a few days you forget about it.
I use a std new box mount and std engine mounts as don't want vibration when I don't have to put up with it.

Just found my MSD one, it ain't one piece like the one they now sell

Hi Gav

I have the R&B type and I only noticed a very slight amount more noise - not enough for the family to notice or complain about on a 70 mile trip to the beach. Did you have the mount done at the same time as the diff?

 

never had 1 but the msd 1 looks like a nice bit of kit,
think i might invest in 1 for my saph going back on the road next year, got solid beam mounts to so should improve it a bit
