Alex Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 A few years ago I bought new engine mounts but never fitted them. I now can’t find them …. Mine are decidedly ropey and I wondered what people’s experience was of the latest offerings? Any suggestions of a decent quality source?

yorkshire_spam Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I bought: UKC5334 ENGINE MOUNTING RUBBER From Paddocks back in 2012, fitted them probably 12 months after and the still seem ok. But who knows if they are still the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPearce Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I don't recall where I bought my previous set from but one of them failed before I'd even started the engine and the other within a year of getting the car back on the road. Granted they'd been fitted to the rolling chassis for some years before that but apart from a few trips on a trailer they'd not seen any action. The new ones (3/4 years old now) still seem OK, having done some miles around Yorkshire, then the Peak district, then an RBRR and last year's C2C.

Alex Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Just had a route around in the heralds garage/ tent. Found my new engine mounts! No idea where I got them, maybe stoneleigh,maybe paddocks 🤷🏼♂️ Not a clue but I’ll fit them and see how long they last. I’ll keep my old knackered ones as back up. Thanks for the responses 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a really good look at them as sometimes they look rubbish on the surface but are still solid inside and well bonded to the backing plates...

I think that’s why I decided against changing them before…. I reckon I got the new ones when I redid the engine. Maybe 2013…. it’s done at least 2 round britains since then 😂 I think I’ll fit the new ones but keep the old ones as spares. If the new ones fail I’ll fit the old ones and leave alone. thanks👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
