do the likes of vibratec solid mounts still use rubber, but a lot harder, or are they totally solid items?

as in i could get me old man to whip up some proppa solid ones that are all metal, and no rubber.

i know it would vibrate like a c*nt but would it have any adverse effects such as shearing the bolts off the mounts etc?

 

Vibratecs still have a small rubber bush

 

I think vibratechs do a couple of different options, but my ones still have a bush.

Even then it sends more vibration through the car though, its quite noticeable

 

too much vibration could cause the electrical connections to come loose. bits will be falling off everywhere

 

very true lloyd lol

dont wanna be driving down the road that wheels fall or summut

anyone got alink to vibratec's website? i cant find shit on google lol

cheers rod, ill let you know if i cant blag any

how much we talking btw, and are they not broke in 1/2 after having 80 million bhp put through them?

 

out of intrest, why is it that people want to use vibra mounts?

 

Because standard ones are properly shit. They fail all the time (mine lasted maybe 10k km's on Stage 1 small turbo), they make whole car fell rubbery as whole transmission system moves about, and they destroy all the effect of lift-off in corners, vibratechnics are so much better.

 

what jakub said lol

they just stop the engine rocking loads and there are more benifits of using them

 

Fudge, go out in Richys 205 and as soon as he turns the key,
you will realise why you dont want solid mounts.

his aint even nearly solid and they are too much (just about!)
