Uprated engine mounts

[Albrecht]

Al' I didn't know they did a diff mount too - I'm assuming similar rubberised material in standard looking front mount form.
Currently I use a solid mount, but have been thinking about removing it for a stock one (too noisy), perhaps a KEW item is a better bet ??

Yes, and yes.

They look like the stock diff mount, but the vulcanised rubber is harder than stock.

In my experience - and in untold cases of advice from those who know better than me - solid diff mounts don't damp any vibration, and just move the harmonics around to somewhere else. In extreme cases these harmonics can even lead to fasteners coming loose. Good job I warned you about that before something untoward happened to your diff. Oh, hang on......

Some people seem to be shocked at the cost of the KEW mounts, but the higher than ideal cost is made far worse by the supreme strength of the Yen at the moment.

It can wait a little while (do keep me in mind though if you don't mind)

Not a big fan of solid diff mounts, I snapped one at Bruntingthorpe a few years back with a careless downshift instead of an upshift, sometimes you need a little "give".

In fact you were in the car shortly afterwards Rob and commented on the impressive clunk when ever I changed gear

Fair point Alan, I knew lockwire had its uses
