Ian C Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I have to ask, what on earth is that supposed to be for Why wouldn't you want your engine to be able to move on the mounts? And if you don't, fit solid engine mounts. I wouldn't expect a single M6 bolt with a short shank into aluminium to a) be rigid and b) last 5 minutes before stripping the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you don't, fit solid engine mounts. I wouldn't expect a single M6 bolt with a short shank into aluminium to a) be rigid and b) last 5 minutes before stripping the thread It's to stop the engine twisting to much and putting stress on the gearbox which caused my last box to let go. You wouldnt need it on the street but on the drag strip the engine moves quite abit when shifting gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really want a proper "damper" then at least fit something like the old BMWs used to use, or a mountain bike damper, at least you wil stand a chance of it actually achieving what its supposed to do.
