BSH Engine Mounts Review Update 2/12/09 page 3

[∆pex]

hey guys, i have these mounts too and must give dave a big congrats for the wonderful info in this thread.
i ran into the same problems regarding fitment with the charcoal canister. a few emails back and forth with phil @ bsh about how to solve the issues and he finally directed me here.

dave, just wondering if you ever got a pic of the "stay" you manufactured to connect the canister to the fender strap?
also wondering if you remember the length of the "stud connector" that you used? i've been having the most ridiculous time trying to find these but finally had some luck with a fastener specialist, though the smallest they had was 20mm and i'm not sure whether it is the right size...

cheers,
steve

Steve,

the 20mm Stud connector should be fine, I think minew as the same.  as for the stay. just get the can in place and do a little trial and fit.

Mine was about 3" long I recall.  i can't see any pics at work, I am sure there was a picture showing the orientation.

hope that helps.

thanks dave, the stud connector was my main concern. if that sounds right to you, i'm definitely gonna give it a go installing these tomorrow, sick of looking at them just sitting in the garage.

Loving the mounts! Sounds sportier and has a more mechanical sound / feel.  Feels tighter and Id like to say more responsive on the throttle

....Do you feel happier about them becoming quieter? That would greatly disappoint me.

damn, mrs. reckons house reno's are more important than car mods! now i have to wait another week...

Don't know.............  will do soon.  The mount has an oil filled bladder inside, so my aim is to slit this, clean it out and have a play...........

Hope I'm not too late - but if your concern is reducing noise, then you do not want to be messing with that.  The sole purpose of the 'bladder' is simply to act as a noise damper.  The viscous fluid inside it will be 'harmonically tuned' to cancel out noises (and their respective vibrations) at a specific frequency.  So if you mess with the contents of the bladder, you may well end up with MORE noise.

Not done anything about it yet,  a touch more noise would be acceptable, not not as mucha s the BSH gave.

a happy medium would be ok.  However since the new diff was fitted, all is well, and i am content for now.

So have you made any progress on this?  Still have the OEM mounts?  Don't suppose you took a careful look at the state of the rubber to see for any degridation?  Or compare them side by side with brand new OEMs?

This very issue (engine mounts) is sommat I'm now working on.  Got a set of new OEMs and will be 'modifying' them with some high grade RTV silicone - just trying to work out how much of the void to fill . . . .  But with the silicone modified OEMs, noise increase should be minimal, and any increase should (definately / hopefully  ) be on the same harmonic frequency.

However since the new diff was fitted, all is well, and i am content for now.

Quaiffe?  Who did that for you?
