Post by: richw911 on 16 January 2008, 17:47: Whos done the bushes on the Dogbone mount?
Did you do it yourself? If not why not (Ive got a "how to guide" with pics but i will pay some one to do it if its too hard lol)

When you say youve ordered an R32 mount, do you mean the whole thing? Whats different about the R32 one? Do you have to mod it to fit?

yeah the whole thing - its part number 1J0 199 851 AM and is about Ã‚£60 incl VAT :afro:

ASAIK it fits ALL MKIV's as a few people have fitted it to 5 Speed Golfs, R32 being 6 speed :afro: Hopefully my car will rattle less!! Will take some pics as it should be in tomorrow. Might not get a chance to fit it until i come back from holiday though
