glang Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 It looks better than mine but try to have a close look all round to see if the rubber has really separated to any great degree from the metal. After my experience with replacement rubber bits from china i wont be replacing my original items in any hurry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scimher Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 ...I used to get an MOT advisory for mine for about 3 or 4yrs. on the trot - & they were considerably more crozzled than the one in the pic....Only had 'em replaced last year. Never noticed any difference in the way the old gal drives....bless her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encom Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Replace it before it lets go and you have an bigger issue. Cheap insurance in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Quoted from Encom Replace it before it lets go and you have an bigger issue. Cheap insurance in my book. Exactly my thoughts. Have a look at the section of chassis the engine will rest on and what's on top of it, if the mount fails. It's happened to me more than a few times but caused no damage.

Clive Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Not having bought new (triumph) engine mounts since the last one that was rock-hard, I would suggest asking about sources of good mounts.I managed to survive on good used ones, but my supply has all been re-homed since I now use Jag mounts.

James1500 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The quality of new mounting rubbers are terrible and will look like that within a month or two! They usually sag and wedge the engine further down when they start to let go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
