    Uprated rear engine mounts (currently available)

    I've been talking about these for long enough, so it was about time I got to work!!

    I have made a jig to allow the production of some stiff rear engine mounts. I don't really need to tell you the benefits of stiffening the engine up, because if you don't know how that helps then you probably don't need one! In short though: improved control in hard launching and between gears. Reduced gear lever movement also. The downside will be an increase in vibration and noise, so probably not for cars that spend most of their time on the road.

    The mount is very similar to the ones I've done in the past for select folks only instead of the uber expensive uprated VW mounts they instead use a common but hugely uprated rubber mount from a landrover V8. Pro's are that they're cheap to buy and replace in the future. Cons are that they are not as shiney

    Some pics attached. They bolt right into the normal location without the need to modify a thing.

    If you want one then let me know, I'll just make them as people want them. Some of the steel is a bit on the steep side and they take a good hour to make each one so they need to be £40 + £4.00 recorded p&p.

    Any questions, fire away

    Re: Uprated rear engine mounts

    Thanks for the feedback guys, glad they fit up OK.

    I think the worst that may have occured during fitting was that the mounting holes may have needed a file, etc. I drilled the mounting holes @ 12mm to allow for some variation (bolts are M10). The original mounts have an elongated hole on the right hand side, possibly indicating that some subframes are slightly different than others. Who knows, but no problems as of yet

    hi brigsy, have you found alot of vibrational noise in the car, since fitting this? I have one, but after seeing it, looks very good, but maybe a bit hard for me using in an everyday car, possibly

    Pass mate, Van is still off the road for now. Idle is rough & rattles through the van as is, seems fine on idle.

    Re: Uprated rear engine mounts

    Dave & jonny, your 2 are done and will be sent tomorrow

    thats it for now, I'm sick to the back teeth of making them and they're eating up most of my spare time. I need to get on with my engine and I can't have swarf floating about the garage while I'm building that up.

    I have enough steel for one more, which I don't mind making this week, so if anyone else wants one, be quick

    Thanks for all the orders guys, there were more of you than I anticipated! I'll do some more at some point, Cheers.
