Title: engine mounts
Post by: oak_grun on April 16, 2018, 09:42:46 pm

Hi all,

Need to change the mounts on the Edition 30 and have a set of Revo mounts that I purchased a while ago, that I will be fitting shortly.  They are used so, hopefully won't be as harsh as brand new ones, and worn in a some, as I have read mixed reviews on them.

What done bone mount are people running?  I am leaning towards the vibratechnics one - any running this mount? experiences, opinions please...

Thanks in advance.

I have all 3 Vibratechnics mounts. Very good indeed. The dogbone is a subframe off job to fit, but it doesn’t disturb the suspension geometry. Pretty easy.

Anyone running this mount? Is it worth fitting at same time as dog bone mount?

Yes that is the dogbone mount.  I'm running that along with the two side mounts.
