I would say vibration hence why I asked the difference in your setup to others. Solid mounting seems extreem to me

Been on my car since 2011 think its been driven hard enough to prove they don't give issues!

Can't say I've noticed any excessive harshness either

You insensitive beast

You insensitive beast

will look at it later on today.

 

 

by doing this though do I need to do anything else to the chassis or similar to add extra strength/bracing?

[John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison]

Apparently not

[Terry Everall]

chassis will be fine

Hi Rob,

 

I had some Vibra-Technics engine mounts maded for my car; they are a slight compromise between solid and rubber mounts. I can't remember the name of the guy that made them but they were specially developed for a Westfield.  They were made to my specification (height) and work very well - they don't eliminate all the engine movement, but most of it, and also reduce the engine vibration through to chassis.

 

I was recommended that if I went for solid/stiffer engine mounts then the gearbox mount also need to be uprated.  In my case I already had a VW Polo engine mount on my Elite Gearbox and in discussion with the guy from Vibra-Technics he confirmed that the VW Polo mount was already heavy duty/stiff for a gearbox mount and so would be compatible with the new Vidra-Technics engine mounts.

My solid mounted duratec used normal gearbox mounts with no real problems

[woodman]

My engine and gearbox are both  bolted up solid -no rubber-no movement
