    Re: Uprated rear engine mounts

    the mounts offered by spoox look good , however coming form a peugeot back ground, spoox are known for being terrible.. crap engine rebuilds, silly pricing , crap quality of parts, and generally just being no good at what they do.. Thing being them mounts do look the part.

    Re: Uprated rear engine mounts

    I was tempted to buy them but at £240+vat and P&P for a full set I thought bugger that.

    I've just bought two more rover v8 mounts at £5 each like you've used scoff and am getting the front two custom made. Might get some photos up when there finally done.

    Re: Uprated rear engine mounts

    Logg, sounds good mate, keep us abreast of your progress.

    In the mean time, Scoff would be willing to make up a new batch of an absolute minimum of ten, otherwise it's just not cost effective. I would also add (a search or reading this thread will confirm) that these are proven rear mounts, with many members running them for some time now. I personally would be happy to pay up front for one of these but, ultimately, that will be Scoffs call.

    I'll start the list for a potential manufacturing run of at least 10 rear mounts. I'll also assume that the mounts will cost between GBP40-50 based on the original price and maybe a bit of extra cost in purchasing the raw materials, plus postage.

    Re: Uprated rear engine mounts

    Thanks guys, no one needs to worry about paying up front, if a couple of folk drop out then it's not the end of the world, I can sell them via the webshop or whatever. If we can get somewhere near to 10 requests I'll order materials and get to work

    I should say that the only thing that looks to have gotten anymore expensive is the postage so we can say £45 delivered for a rear mount with the later 77mm V8 rubber.

    Cheers, Chris

    Re: Uprated rear engine mounts

    Roll up, roll up, get 'em while they're hot.

    If your GTT is running more power than standard, there's a good chance that your standard rear mount is probably going to give up sometime in the future. The standard rubber is quite soft and even a good condition new OE mount will allow some mild movement.

    Fitting the Scoff rear mount will stiffen things up which will not only increase longevity but, should improve gear shift feel too.

    Go on, you know you want to......

    Re: Uprated rear engine mounts

    I've collected all the materials including 17 mounts so I have enough to go for a while. Enough steel for 10 or 12 initially. I'm really happy with the new mounts, I shopped around and found some good quality ones, this time zinc plated (instead of flakey paint) and marginally stiffer than the last lot.

    There will be a slight change to the design too to help speed up production. The main "n" shape in the center will be formed from 4mm steel instead of cutting, folding and welding like before.

    I've got a load of work to do this week but I hope to get cracking next week.
