Not sure about the distances but I have a spare set of mounts if you need some quickly! Have you checked the bushes of the rear dog mount?

What do you mean by checked the dogbone? I had a look and couldn't see anything broken etc,
I may have to take up your offer for the gearbox mout while I try sort this with awesomegti, how much do you want for it?

Cheers

Must be some underlying problem for it to break again.........?
Not sure what, but I'd get it all checked over before throwing more money at it  :wink:

 :laugh: bit late for that

Here is what it looks like .......



Thee other side is a Smaller crack

Not sure if this picture is of your actual mount but in the above picture the engine mount failure could possibly be the result of improper installation, just look how out of alignment the mount is! It's completely jagged. The bolt should sit centred on the top mount as to cover up the hole. Chances are because it's so far out of alignment the bushes aren't working and instead you have metal on metal contact.

Power would definitely not be the reason for the mounts failure in the above case. I've had mates run gt2871r on standard mounts for a whole season without such problems.

It wasn't that far out of line before it broke but now it's comletely on the piss which I think idvdue to the engine dropping and moving  :undecided:

Not sure the bolt should move so easily it is supposed to hold the engine while driving after all. Perhaps they were loose. It's odd that both your engine mounts went.

Mine started to crack in 2 places.  passenger side.  I just swapped the casings over off a set of spare stock mounts.
