Update:

Sarah at Awesome has emailed a picture and asked for ECS's opinion - guess we'll wait and see what comes of that, and your inspections?

I fitted a Powerflex one to mine recently.  The only worry I have, is that the bolt is not long enough, one you take into account the thickness of the PF bush, and the large washer.

I am looking into the thread and size, with a view to getting a correct length bolt.

I've got a Powerflex one in the garage, t'is much thicker and a very hard compound. The thin fingers are a different shape too.

I've got the VF Engineering one in at the mo that came with the lower mount (which is fecking ace BTW) so I'll see how I get on with that.

Methinks I'm gonna ask my friends VWR for their advice and possibly change mine when they do my dogbone engine mount.

No harm in it, I'd assume their mount will have a new bush anyway.

You'll love the effect of the lower mount, much more positive than the insert alone. I'll be getting the VWR fast-road ones in due course, but I know they're busy with the race season starting this weekend and I needed the lower like yesterday!!

As you can see, the joint has a poly bush and is a lot tighter (for want of a better word) so the bush is thinner. The OEM one has a very thick, voided bush, so you can see it'll distort like hell once some power is put through it...Hell, I can bend it a considerable amount by hand, so God knows what an engine will do to it?

^^^^

Yep, I'm going for VWR Fast Road too. Mark suggests I just start off with the dogbone mount and then later see if I feel I need the others. He says that for road use it's the most important mount of the three.

Someone else would try and sell me all three wouldn't they!

Busy racing season but that's their priority and I can fit around that :happy2:

Yes, they would - it's nice when you're told what you actually need rather than what a profit margin thinks you need. Same with when someone tells you it'd be a waste of money all together!!

So, that's exactly my plan too Robin, little steps to see how it changes & improves. Starting with this and moving upwards with the VWR ones in time  :happy2:

I believe a cheap fix is draining the oil out of the other 2 and re-filling them with resin, could be a positive step for those on a budget and wanting to buy the dogbone only.
