Your pic of the Mondeo mount isn't exactly useful since it has obviously been set alight.

Thanks! Same on KV6, I replaced the lower mount with my latest model this afternoon. Far better then everything I have tried before (at least this is my first impression after a short ride). BTW, found the previous one in perfect condition and in one piece, it was just a little too rigid.

Did anything come of this venture ? I think mine needs replacing, very noisy engine with a lot of vibration in the car ( diesel cdt with 130,000 miles ) and the judder on take off.

Get hold of a Mondeo mount and fit that. Its a cheap, quick and easy solution, until someone comes up with a better solution.

Hi,
does anybody know the inner diameters of both bores of the alloy bracket?
Also the width of both bushes would be interesting.
Have access to various brand new engine mounts and want to check if I can find anything suitable..., many thanks.

This is excellent I will follow your progress with interest as my mounts are showing signs of wear now and I am thinking of replacing them.

I really hope it pans out. I would be happy to act as a guinea pig for trials, if that is something you would consider.

Not sure about progress as this thread from 2010!!

I am at the very moment looking at doing a fit and exchange scheme similar to the hand brake compensator compensator but i am not thinking of posting them out as yet because of cost, so first i will see how they go at the Wolverhampton nano's etc

by sunday i will have four ready two diesel and two petrol fitted Dominic's last week between us it took 40 mins and we had to get the centre out of the old one with these that will already be done Arctic.
