Type 9 gearbox mount
Hi all,
I'm in the process of changing my engine and box and want to take the oppurtunity to swap my"floppy as a floppy thing" gearbox mount
for something a bit more substantial.
Does anyone know where to get uprated units, or have any opinion of them or should I just get a new one where the rubber part isn't the
consistency of snot?

I'll second the Westfield reccomendation.
Much stiffer, and suprisingly cheap...

Just out of interest what engine are you removing?

Caterham do the same mounting I think you will find it a bit cheaper than the westfield one.

I think I only paid ~£12 for my westfield one a year ago - but they did keep running out of stock

I have a lightly used westfield mount and mounting bracket you can have for a few beer tokens if you like

I just changed my gearbox mount today, it is a sierra one and the new one was much stiffer than the old one .It seems to be well up to the job
although i do have almost solid engine mounts.
I was going to use a capri one but didnt know if the mounting centres were the same
