solid front mounts on ebay

what about using loctite tris ? or even wire lock the mofo or a spring or surrated washer .

 

I used threadlock.

 

Me too, seems to have worked ok.

 

yeh threadlock and spring washers to keep the bolts under tension at all times. ok so far, suppose a trackday would be the best test

 

A few pics of the engine mount being fitted.

 

Good work dude !! nice to see it modded, i was looking at using a top Poly setup in the same way that skateboard uses them on the axle for the truck, may play about with a prototype on this but busy with shifter manufacture at the mo

The best setup i have found so far for lack of dash rattles and no movement is on a 1800 16v that we fitted
-G60 Vag rear engine mount ( from a rallye )
-standard gearbox mount
-Tmount up front

My setup uses vibratechnics race mounts at the rear and Tmount up from and it far harsher that the above setup

 

This worked for me:-

 

Looks simple and effective... and as a Scotsman, I find it very appealing

 

wtf is that Ian

 

Just welded up....but dont look at the weld, as I explained on the other thread, my welder had ran out of gas....and I cant weld!

 

I v just made one of those today and i also had no gas

Works tho and all it cost me is an hour of grinding and welding,thats it

 

think i may take this route then when got few spare quid ill buy one of them nice ebay jobbies.

by the way, is the rear g60 mount a bit harder wearing than standard gti etc?

 

i bought one of duff's ones off the bay when i posted this thread....Haven't got around to fitting it yet though as i've had other problems that need dealing with, namely the exhaust.

Does anyone know what the correct torque settings would be for the bolts, and where i can get some of that funky rubber matting to add to the bottom of it to reduce the vibration?

 

a) FookinLoadsofNm

b) Next door neighbours doorstep.

 

You can use this settings

Top bolt - 45 ft Ibs
Bottom bolt small - 20 ft Ibs
Bottom bolt large - 45 ft Ibs

In reality i normally do them up using a long allen key and do them as tight as i can by hand, and then check them all after 500 miles , loctite seems to be the way to go to secure these, Use only a light grade loctite nothing too strong

Hope this helps , will update my listing with this info when i have made a few more ..

 

Might be worth mentioning: lockwire. Since they're alloy (presume they are) my guess is they don't have steel inserts, so the last thing people will want to do is put in hefty Loctite and end up never being able to undo.

Will put something up on the porn thread later.

 

and here's me about to cut the soles off my trainers

 

Broken gearboxes this week...due to a bolt lost down the inspection hole The engine mount did a total of 10 miles before the car was broken again.

 

just got mine through the post.

all i can say is the workmanship is stunning.

the mount currently resides on my bedroom window sill whilst im searching for a decent 4 2 1 manifold to bung on at the same time

 

Any idea when some more will be available?

cheers
