engine mounts / polybushes / front strut brace development

[oscar]

spoke to justin at evol engineering (a reliable cliosport trader) who are big in the hot rod scene about getting some 133 / gt bushings and mounts developed. justin has agreed to take this on, so i'm wondering if any of you guys have any bushings or mounts laying around to send to me so that i can have these parts developed?

i would really appreciate it guys as it helps out the club and it's members as a whole

thanks,
dave.



*edit, even if it's the crap ktec ones you've had .... fitted them, then taken them off. if you send me them, i will offcourse send you them back.

Have all 3 vibra-technic ones installed, if they can be as solid but with less vibration I would be tempted
Key ones would be wisebone car bushes

send me a wishbone or a wishbone bush and i'll have this sorted out for you dude.

I have a 133 dog bone gearbox mount if interested.

that would be really appreciated mate, i'll take you up on that offer. i'll pay for the postage etc if you don't mind giving me a loan of it. i'll make sure it's returned to you the same way that it left your house.

will contact you in a couple of weeks once i've gotten hold of a few people willing to give up their old / spare parts. the idea is to have the same quality, but cheaper than these vibra technic / ktec etc ones

 

[mrbushrat]

No problem.

I've the two upper ones, but I believe there's a difference between early /later gearbox mounts as my vibratechnic mount was remade to be shorter to fit under the battery tray.

The vibratechnic 133 upper engine mount is carried over from the 1*2

any joy with these yet?

 

[oscar]

yep man, i can get uprated ones made anytime. all i need is an old engine mount etc from someone, i don't make any money out of this so i won't be using my own money to buy second hand ones from ebay!

 

[jilopyjim]

fair enough ,car is a daily driver so can't really give you mine ,will gladly give you mine if i get new mounts!

Ive just discovered my standard mounts so they will be in the post tomorrow.

won't be the only thing that'll be in the post tomorrow!

 

[oscar]

is this working yet?

 

[jilopyjim]

what is the timescale on these Oscar? is it wise to hold of buying vibra technic's? done my doggone myself

 

[oscar]

couple of months at most jim, don't worry go buy the vibra technics one it's awesome! i just have the intent to develop these so that they are available. poly inserts first, and then a whole engine mount if possible cnc cut and what not but i can't promise the later. i can promise the poly inserts though

 

[jilopyjim]

bugger! vibra fekin exspensive fekin mounts it is fek ,fek,fek! did i mention i don't like spending money lol

 

[oscar]

how much are they jim? just curious to know really, certainly not going to be attempting to compete. just want to offer something a little bit different and exclusive to twingo owners

 

[jilopyjim]

right hand is£102 gearbox is £112 n dog bone is£110 a think all 3 is £322 on ebay will make a lot of difference so a guess it will be worth it

 

[oscar]

definitely will be worth it, well is 300 quid worth it? i'd say so, but some might not lol

i'm now in touch with a motorsport engineering workshop, they are busy busy busy but they are going to see what can be done with regards to uprated engine mounts. i am going to send the two engine mounts that neil kindly donated and posted down to me so that they can get a jig set up and figure out the best course of action. they are fully aware of the cost of vibra technics mounts etc so this is all being taken into account. if anyone has a dog leg torque link mount thingy that they could donate to the cause, i'd be hugely grateful guys? if not then don't worry about it, i can hunt one down on ebay i suppose.

hope to have some updates over the coming few weeks for you
