Engine mounts

Post by BaaaadSlider »

Please bare with me as i am female and blonde,lol.
At the weekend Putney kindly pointed out that one of our engine mountains is knackered but with all the gud times going on over the weekend we forgot to ask anyone to take a closer look to see which one it was.
Is there a quick and easy way to tell which one it is that have gone?
It is going into the garage next week but i wanted to get the parts in b4 hand.
Where is the best place to get engine mounts from?and is it best to try and do all 4 at the same time?
Many thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

Have you looked?
if its really buggered, then it will be simple..
otherwise you need an assitant to move the engine around so you can see if one is split..
worth changng the pair (2 pairs on there) as the other prob has been strained, or of you are feeling flush, do em all..
GSF should do them and failing that Just Kampers prob do too..

GSF do mountains, or you could try the Alps for second hand ones :)
