Title: Wtb : Engine mounts, weak point? Options? NZ / palmy
Post by: JoKer on August 24, 2013, 07:33:07 PM
Younggun's found out the hard way a wee bit of abuse and these let go, other than a good set of second hand 30+ year old ones, NOS Hu hunter ones etc? Scavenging the set out of my 1500 to get him mobile tomorrow but leaves me without a complete  car for a bit

I know I used to break them in my race car. I think we ended up making our own custom nolathane ones.

Yeah they're all starting to fail now...30 or 40 years is a long time for rubber to resist oil and vibration!
Graeme (Avengerparts) in Palmy has new ones.

QuoteHi Jared,

Yes I've got those engine mounts[front] all the same on every engine size 1970 to 1981.
Just imported 2 weeks ago and  a big price increase with these latest ones at $ 58.40 each.now.
I do have one at older price of $47.80, so guess i can sell you two for $106.20 in total.
