Best 172 engine mounts solution?

[Keyser Soze]

Am I right in thinking new standard engine and gearbox mounts then Powerflex dogbone?
Dont want my interior shaking itself to bits.

Vibratechnics mounts aren't horrendously harsh once they've been run for a little while.

They give a much sharper drive and you have none of the knocking issues that standard mounts give even when new.

I can't decide between filling mine with windscreen glue (haven't looked at how do-able this is on the upper gearbox mount) and pulling the engine as far forward as I can, or stumping for the ktec/vibratechnics ones. :S

Dogbone did absolutely nothing for me, and I've replaced both the std mounts, still get the acceleration noise.

I had the Vibratechnics mounts on my Corrado VR6 and they were brilliant. Didnt cause any rattles either.

Maybe running both Vibratechnics mounts then standard dogbone could minimise vibrations?

i've got both vibra mounts and powerflex dogbone, only noticeable vibrations i get now is on idle when it starts to hunt for idle speed. theyve got about 4k on them now and no knocking of any sort

Using standard mounts in conjunction with uprated ones is daft. They won't last 5 minutes

I find ours perfectly acceptable with vibratechnics mounts and the poly dogbone, but Porkies is on new standard mounts and the poly dogbone and that works well too.

Key thing is just not having tired old mounts and getting rid of the standard dogbone.
