they look like this:

Not cheap that got mine from www.eiptuning.com for less that that inc postage from states. Also kingkwik does them for £50 inc p&p on clubgti forum. Tell jmr to do them cheaper.  :grin:

no because i loctited them all :wink:, ive read that the vibrations can even loosen the starter motor :shocked: ive had to modify my grille fittings and the bonnet stay clip because they vibrated and made a horrible noise like the front of my car was about to fall off :undecided:

sh!t that aint good, so far mines been ok, i get a bit of grill vibration with the bonnet open but nothing like that! what are your other mounts like? it will increase the vibration a bit but as the front beam is rubber mounted they normally absorb the extra vibrations. you might want to check the bushes on your cross member..... thats all i can think of to be honest.

its all ok, just things which arent really secure vibrate. im getting used to all the rattles and vibratons now anyway, theres not much rubber left on my car :grin:
