Plastic Gearbox Mounts

Post by Matt » Mon Oct 02, 2006 1:28 pm

Does anyone know where you can get the Plastic (read Polyurthane) Gearbox mounts for a MY/Brumby?

I would expect the nolathane gearbox mounts to transmit heaps more noise via the floorpan, if you can put up with that. They would would be tough but.

Despite my best efforts!

Highly recommended, esp for the price, a little more vibration in the car, but well worth it. Not real noticeable if you have a bit of an exhaust and AT's
Better than driving home with busted mounts!

Could hear the stock mounts hitting their steel limits, they didn't last long.
