Swapped the 4 wimpy rubber mounts for these 3 monsters - possibly overkill but it clearence was the key factor here and the new taller mounts are perfect , one thing is for sure ill only need to fit these once! Fit and forget!

I'm sure you think it is, but I suggest you drive a Cossie with an adjustable rear beam. Its remarkable. Ian's old Reyland one was great
