oh yes, proper bone shakers

that along with the fact it runs bilstein and compression strusts,

cant see it being a comfy ride

CabrioTurbo

Spiky you may as well just bolt the engine straight to the chassis!

Jim Galbally

do i really need "proper grpA mounts" in my ROAD car tho... it is my daily driver!

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

thats pretty much what they do


Jim, not really no

St3V3_C

No. And the vibratech ones are noisey as fuck as well - stick with the standard ones.

Jim Galbally

but ive got standard ones and the engine moves almost an inch when revving!

St3V3_C

You sure they are not fucked? There are plenty of cars on standard mounts that don't have a problem.

Edit to say maybe it's your dodgy shaped engine

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

Jim Galbally

Spiky

don't know how the V6 is mounted, but on a normal cossie they are a peice of piss, just lift the engine up once you undone the nuts top and bottom of the mount and they come in an out dead easy 2 hrs at an absolute max

Matt

you no listen!!!! gen ford ones are total shit, my engine moves horrendously

dunno about a thumper jim but easiest way to change them on a 3 door is to support the engine with a trolley jack and undo the hangers from the block cos you cannot lift the engine high enough to get over the engine mount top thread even with the bell housing pressed against the transmission tunnel, well i did manage it like but i have an engine crane at the time, only afterwards the remove hanger method was recommended

[policeman_loudhailer_voice]Put down the tool box and step away from the vehicle[/policeman_loudhailer_voice]

Matt

SeanT

Yep, that's how I did it. Unfortunately, I forgot to undo the opposite mount when jacking the engine up to change the fucked one, so now have one vibratechnics and one fucked ford mount

Jim Galbally

sean, how much are the vibratechnics ones? do you remember?

SeanT

Ł67.50 each from Woodford Garage I think mate, postage about a tenner. But that's for 4be ones, you need 2wd cossie don't you?

CosKev3

2wd are over Ł200

SeanT

Jim Galbally
