Gearbox mount bolt under battery snapped

[Mark.B]

Thought my dogbone mount had totally given up as the exhaust has been knocking a lot under acceleration recently then felt something go pulling out of a junction the other night. After some more investigation I just found this bolt has snapped off completely.

Where is the best place to get a new one, is it a main dealer part only?

check the hole in the tripod thingy (technical term) the bolt goes through hasn't ovalized, otherwise it will happen again.

If it's the dog bone that's gone I'd advise against a polybush replacement. I'm reverting back to a standard one from a polybush as the vibration is horrible.

Thanks for the replies, I'm wondering if the dog bone mount being worn caused that bolt to break because the engine was moving around more.

I've ordered an uprated road version from Evol engineering. I'm not too bothered about a bit of extra vibration even though the Clio is my daily driver, I prefer something a bit noisy and uncomfortable over a sensible family car!
