Just out of curiosity, why would you want uprated engine mounts?

Becuase the standard ones are always crap. ie the engine moves so much between gear changes that it bangs, iv replaced the bottom mount and the gearbox mount and still bangs.

you can also get a mount from the R19, which bolts to the gearbox and subframe, stops alot of movement

Ive circled which one it is

A couple of members on here have done this extra mount, one of them being Nick Read, the guy with the valver turbo, so it sounds like it fits.

Ive looked at my subframe and the holes for where it bolts through are there also.

Doubt it would take very long to fit it either, 30 minutes max?

I will be getting this mount for mine when ive got a bit of spare cash
