SD1 gearbox mounts

Post by demo2 »

I have removed the engine n box from my Mk1, the gearbox mounting rubbers are shagged, can you get poly bush replacements or is it only rubber ones ?

There was a vendor on here a couple of years back SC Power from memory that did oily mounts.

I replaced mine and it made a huge difference

But mine is in the GT40 and I ripped te original left side one at Santa Pod. Engine moved over 2 inches when that happened and jammed throttle wide open against bodywork

Hi
I cut the engine at 7000 in second as it was making a big thumping noise. Went through the quarter at 68 mph! So not a PB just a very slow drive home.

That said I just re read the thread and he wants gearbox mounts. It was my engine mount that broke but from memory SC was doing complete replacement sets.
