BUT
the important 'finger' bits that fill in the voids on the OE mount look to be OK and therefore functioning ok ?

Agreed, but at only 6 months old, that's pretty bad. The disc holds the fingers and as soon as that's gone, the fingers will possibly come out of their void positions?
I'd be interested in seeing some older, higher mileage ones.

I agree its not good,
mine came with a large metal washer that would hold it all in place, I think
SteveS:
i have a neuspeed one!!! erm, i hope they are made differently!

Presumably to check the state of the insert you need to undo the stretch bolt - in which case you'll need a new one.
What comes to mind is that how would you tell if the insert was f*cked?
SteveS:
neuspeed tell you to use the original one, which i did, so dont see the problem with taking it out and putting it back. its only a bolt??
xxx_mojo_xxx:
Nope...it's a tension/stretch bolt. The bolt needs to be tightened to a specific torque setting...it's also designed to stretch and lock into place when you tighten it.
Presumably, it also allows a bit more flex than a normal bolt - when the engine moves.
