Hi, already spoke to Scoff, he's only got one left and is too busy to sort anymore out at the moment, spoke to Glenn and he suggested posting on here! Thanks though.

Have you tried cgb? I'm sure they had some for around the £75 mark, for the set (don't quote me on that) but they were definitely uprated ones as I was considering them myself.

Just a thought if you needed them in a hurry.

People classed uprated mounts as the ones which came from Pearl, these are no longer available though. From what I ordered in, Firstline mounts are quite stiff as well which should be fine for the job. But depends on how far you want to go with the turbo'ing of the car you may have to think of other designs like the ones which Logg and Scoff created.

Hi Steve, I contacted CGB and I don't think the ones he sells are going to be strong enough for my conversion. But the ones he sells are updated than OEM ones for a good price

Hi pal,

I've looked on the website and they look like what I'm after for a much cheaper price than the Vibra Technics ones!
I've sent an email to the website wanting to buy them.

Thanks !
