I ordered one a few weeks back, haven't fitted yet but I didn't realise there is a softer version.  Is there a part number to check or based on colour?

I have the yellow powerflex insert fitted, went in with very little effort and I bought a new bolt from tps just to safe about it, seen as its meant to be a stretch bolt. I did however do it lying under the car on the drive

Look at the part numbers, the one with 80K is the road (softer) version and the one with 90K in is the track (harder) version. The one I linked to is the 80K road version.

Hi, would it be correct to say that this would be easily reversible if needed. 
Thanks, brendan

Yes, easily reversible, just remove it back out the car when you've finished with it.

just to confuse you all a bit more remember that there is two types of inserts early and late year cars so make sure you order the one to fit your mount :grin: :grin: :grin:

People do re-use it, I've done it before temporarily, but officially it is a stretch bolt and should be replaced.
