Engine Mount Manufacture

PostPost by: mariodschy » Wed Apr 01, 2015 12:01 pm

I have checked the broken engine mount and was very impressed what I got to see.
First i thought the problem was a bad connection between rubber and metal, but the problem is the rubber itself as you can see in the pictures.
I will make my own "heavy duty engine mounts" by inserting the rubber of the old bracket in to the holes and fill the rest with sikaflex/silicion.
If you check the picutures of the QED mounts it looks they do the same...

New standard mounts with rubber from the broken one, the rest of the gap will be filled with silicion/sicaflex, after that it should be a real "heavy duty" mount
