Default Re: Engine Mount (Polyurethane Fill)

It will be interesting to see what others have done without the rotary table and jig....many have gone before without these tools.
I - like others will be doing by hand - the jig is a nice touch though.

You can see why the mount fails when they were originally designed for a stock SLK320 and we have 60% more hp/tq - but they (MB/AMG) dont seem to have upgraded the mounts to compensate.

Thanks for the write up.
We look forward to your comments on the performance.

I'm still thinking a strut tower brace and little shock/damper would assist the longevity of a stock mount similarly - but that might be new teritory by the soundz.
Plan A - New Mounts coming in order from AutohausAZ along with TM Mount, TM conductor plate (looking forward to this), rear pads, rocker cover and inlet/exhaust gaskets, sump sealant, EGR NRV...etc..etc...
So I'll have my used mounts out in a few weeks.

Link for the purchase of the 80A Poly?
