FrostyCab 0 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Been trying to sort a few things on the VR6 today, mainly the gearbox mount which was about the worst I've ever seen in ages which got me thinking...I remember reading somewhere on here about using standard rear mounts and a solid front to cure the engine movement problem. Now I've checked ebay and gwerks etc and £50ish to £150ish seems a little steep for a lump of alloy with a bolt through it!Does anyone know anywhere else I can get one cheapish as this is a budget mobile and funds are tight!

gavinvr6 0 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 a cheap ebay one will do the job, i know it's just a peice of alloy with bolts in it but if it's the same guy who does thhe mk2 vr solid mounts the quality is great as they are cut to fit perfectly and well worth the money.

FrostyCab 0 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Ok, sounds like a dip in the wallet is called for!Will I get any vibration in the cab from fitting one of these? I noticed that the front subframe is bushed so hoped that would sort that out. Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 You wont get vibration if you are only fitting a solid front mount had mine ona nearly a year. Paul made mine tho. Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 there's a chap on ebay called pigeon computing or something.. his names tris and he sells them for 55 plus 6.20 postage. i was talking to him about a group buy but never got round to it.i took some pics to do a how to guide but my premium membership just expired. dead easy to do with a spare 2 poster ramp, 6ft transmission jack and air tools!i also found no extra vibrations, only a bit noisier when the starter motors turning! worked really well for me down drag strip last weekend Link to post Share on other sites

FrostyCab 0 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Sounds good to me!I put on the new gearbox mount yesterday and now... well the other two have given up the ghost! Typical!So need to order one rear mount and may grab one of those mounts off ebay. Happy days.A how too would be good as it was a fiddly bugger doing the gearbox mount on the drive but I got it all in with only two axle stands, a trolley jack and some spanners! Not sure the rear engine ones going to be quite so easy though!!I take it these mounts will also fit a corrado as well no hassle Link to post Share on other sites
