powerflex exhaust mount

[bendee]

done a search a didnt find anything, basically ive got a new exhaust and the standard exhaust mount (the rubber bit) has colapsed and i want to get a new one but not to keen on the standard one as itll just happen again.
looking at the poweflex ones and it seems they would do a better job.

im thinking number one would be the one i need? are they much cop defo cheaper than the 20 quid renault want anyone have experiances with them?

do they do one of these for the backboxes for the 182?

 

[phil_white16]

yeah good shout dan,i could do with a set if they do them for the 182 cos the std ones are rubbish!

 

[nelson182]

Yeah i could do with some strengthened mounts. Any ideas how easy they are to do yourself too?

 

[bendee]

i belive the 182 and 172 mounts are the same just the 182 has two of them.
and from what ive read its simple to get the rubber bit out and looks like poeple have just zip tied the new ones in.

im just wanting to know witch is the right one (i think its number one) and if there any good.

if you search the forums theres a few posts on updating the origional rubber with a ford item, basically cut out the old rubber and bond in a ford one although mines cable tied and has been on two weeks and is spot on

Pics on page two of this thread oh and took about 5 mins to do

where does the bit go on that rubber tho? between the gap i take it?

i saw your post when i searched but wanted opinions on the polyflex aswell.

From that picture I think the exhaust mount will go through the top hole in the rubber so that it will sit slightly higher than the standard Renault on which has a hole in the middle.

Where did you get the Ford rubber mount from dannyb?

You can use any oval rubber mount from a motor factors. I cut the old mount out leaving the two mount 'legs' of the X in place. When I fitted the oval mount, I folded the two bottom legs so they were flat against the bottom of the mount. This left just enough space to squeeze the oval mount in place meaning there are no gaps between the metal hanger and the rubber itself. It also means that the bottom hole of the new oval mount is in the same place as the hole in the original mount.

got rubber of a freind but any motor factors will do them cheap, Racerstu is right it uses the top hole and does sit slightly higher but ive got the magnex oval so it looks better this way. As soon as my new backbox arrives im going to re-do it slightly lower.

Still having trouble with my Cat Knocking under the car when I come off the accelerator pedal. Has anyone changed the mount near this or had similar trouble?
