I see a few people on here using stickoflex or tiger seal on there gearbox mounts.Is this to strengthen the mounts and does it work.Ever since ive put the 2 litre backtop in my mk4 fiesta im getting movement from the rear torque link and im wondering is it the answer to do away with the problem to get a poly bush item or some thing else .

 

sounds like a total bodge just get some uprated vibra technics

 

I've tiger sealed up some and if works very well.

Especially if your on a budget and don't wanna spunk 100Ł on a vibrio technics mount on a Ł500 car

 

Flo-flex do a dogbone mount kit for the mk4 fiesta. Fits easy and I get virtually no movement in mine now.

There is two sizes isn't there?what year is your car?

 

You still not sorted it iv got a spare torque link for sale that way you can buy the bushes for that one and swap it over without all the hassle

 

There's a small bush and a large

 

Oi you lol ive been working flat out all week not had chance lol.Ive booked the 22 23 24th of this month off to change my gearbox and get these bushes sorted.Im gonna get the link off tomorrow hope fully and measure it so I can order it.I want to do the whole lot in one go.Ive got a clunking noise coming from the torque link

 

I no mate but ive got to measure the insert of the small bush to make sure I get the right one

 

Mines a mk4 fiesta, with zetec turbo. If you phone them up, they will tell you what one you need. There's 2 possible sizes for the small end of the mount. You need to check if yours has a nylon outter or metal outter to the little bush... And they will tell you what one you need.

cheers mate did you get the bushes from that place in wales

 

Hahaha I hope it not broke if it making a clunking noise

 

Got them when I was at ford fair.... They had a stand a stand there with 2 very hot... I mean helpful ladies.

Matt

 

 

At this rate mine will be finished before yours

 

Are you crazy mine is running I use it everyday lol.Yours doesn't have an engine in it

 

 

Lol

 

 

let me know how it goes!

 

 

How what goes lol

 

 

did this to one of my engine mounts to stiffen it up and it worked fine!

 

You mean using stickaflex?

 

Ive never heard of this being done before.

 

Ive seen it quiet a bit and on here as well

 

Do you get a lot of vibration through your torque link Matt

 

There is some vibration, but within 3 or 4 days if forgotten about it and don't notice it now. But I will say I'm more tolerable with stuff like that as its just a toy car and not a daily!

 

Mines my daily runner lol.I don't mind though.Gonna get my link off in the morning as long as its not raining! and measure it

 

It's quite easy to spot which it is... The small bush ones with nylon case - have white nylon. I just scraped the bush casing with a screwdriver to see if it was metal or nylon.

 

This on eGay says that the steel cases ones need 35mm and nylon needs the other size.

Measured mine its nylon I can move the nylon about with the screwdriver.Its a smidge over 33mm

 

thats because we do not cut corners bodging

 

Its hardly a bodge, its cheap and it works.

 

how many tuners are car manufacturers do this ? answer none so its a bodge

 

I have seen tuners do this, There is nothing wrong with filling an engine mount with tiger seal or sikaflex. People have been doing it for years.

Power flex sell bushes that fill gaps in mounts just like sealant but more expensive.

Honda have done similar aswell.

 

Confused by this. How do you fill the mount with sikoflex?

 

like this.
