Just done my mount today with a powerflex.
Need new bolts though so won’t be installed till tomorrow.
Anyone noticed how loose the bolt is in the mount? Surely that’s not gonna help?

The small mount. The bolt goes through a metal sleeve but the bolt is thinner than the sleeve so would allow movement?
That’s prob why my oem bolt was bent when I removed it, and probably why you here of that bolt snapping.

Oh sugar me timbers that looks too loose from looking at the bolt hole as it's meant to be minimal play inside the hole and side to side play!!!

I'm toying with the idea of buying the dogbone above to accompany a 034 billet pendulum insert, thoughts? Currently on [new] stock mounts, fed up with the bucking bronco feeling accompanying every throttle input.

https://www.awesomegti.com/brands/034motorsport/034motorsport-billet-aluminium-transmission-mount-insert-08/

The current one is 100k now so the bush inside must be pretty knackered. What is your current mount setup? Do you think it would introduce any noticeable harshness with it being poly?

Cheers  :drinking:

Update on this china mount I purchased.

Good piece of kit and I recommend you guys to buy it if you're thinking of an upgrade or pay silly prices from other companies to get the same results  :popcornsoda:

Like the 034 version with the spherical bearing?

It won't be long before they start knocking out cheap versions of the billet insert. Now that I've paid £50 for mine. #tightgit  :grin:
