solid adjustable dog bone mount.

The mount when set up correctly can be used to hold the engine solidly without flex rotationally, leading to more precise gear changes and tighter engine.
Also it allows a certain degree of positioning of the engine to eliminate downpipe knocking and other clearance issues, again when setup for the individual car, It also gives a nice slagtastic chassis vibration on idle!

You changing the top mounts to something a little more solid as well ?
I know especially on the 172/182 if you change the dog bone mount to something more solid it puts more strain on the standard top mounts and rips them to pieces very quickly..
I say go solid all round :boogy:

eventually but the dog bone mount i brought is from some1 who originally designed it for his car and found it worked so wel that he sold a few.
im hoping he get to doing some top mounts as well and he also doin a group buy on some powerflex bushes.

awsome design as they are fuckers for engine movement even with new mounts, with it being adjustable is awsome to as they are fuckers for exhaust knocking too, top find D
