Okay,
@dCi_rep sent me a nice pack full of used mounts this morning, which I've cleaned up and measured up - the good news is, the sizes are all well within what the bush design will cope with for preload variation, so I don't need to make any changes. In fact I could probably slacken things off a little on tolerances but I cba
I can also see just how much they suffer with the small bush getting knocked out - the big bush is perfect on one even though the small end is dead, and it's pretty similar on another one too. But then again it's so much stiffer than the large bush and with so little area, that's expected, fortunately what I'm using in the small end is about 3x tougher than the OE compound, and has more lateral support.
Anyway, looking at that, I may offer the two bushes seperately - that would give people a nice cheap option just to refurb the mounts you have if just the small end bush is shot, with a decent replacement part, without being a massive amount stiffer any thoughts on that, or would you be more likely just to buy the kit of two + inserts anyway if you were taking the mount off?
I still need to get around to checking fitment and some quick testing, but me and
@OssPoop keep missing each other at the moment
An as a slight aside, if anyone wants a look at the mounts, and/or the exhaust mounts that KAM are now stocking, then they'll be on display at a stand next month at the TCT manufacturing show in the NEC - along with a few other parts for different models, engine mounts, wishbone bushes, subframe mountings, balljoint boots, etc, etc - you may or may not catch me personally as I won't be at the stand for long.
