Hmmm I have the vibratechnics (sp) ones, those one's you've linked to look a bit flimsy IMO, the rod looks like it'll snap. You could probably hunt down a good 2nd had set of uprated ones for the same price as these.

Got Collins on mine, superb mounts. Used Vibratechnics on my last Cossie and as good as they were, they were a bit harsh vibration wise.

Kev - you gone for an uprated gearbox mount aswell? If so, whats the vibration like on it? toying with the idea of changing mine

Their products are the worst on the market and they claim they take x bhp and they clearly don't - for example ERST gearbox mounts claimed 300bhp and proven failure at only 140 stick with vibro you know what you getting

Where is the PROOF ?, or is it just the usual pub talk bullshit, of someone who knows
someone, who's sister knew someones brother who knew someones who's failed ?
Seriously interested to see proof, having been to the company, and currently dabbling with poly, sorry not overpriced ones though.
Poly must be the easiest material in the world to get right, the poly suppliers, that supply the raw material all have science labs employing some very clever people.
Curing, a certain way can give a MASSIVE increase in shear strength but most don't do them this way still.

Not just the poly part though, what about the metal piece, i know it's just a small pic but i personally wouldn't pay 80 odd quid for something that looks less substantial than the standard mount? I'd opt for the safe option that thousands of other people have used and had no issues with, for not much more.
