NOT MY..but just found one of my L 4WD auto mounts is not stuffed but has parted on the bond , rubber to steel, and is in the vice with black silastic curing, hoping it will do for the time being. Never tried this before on mounts but given the resistance to parting silicone bonded stuff before I thought I'd give it a shot - at least to pass rego inspection.

i had a bucket load of L auto ones they all fail like that.Contact adhesive and a piece heavy rubber fixed em.

I phoned Ipswich Subaru two weeks ago and got quoted $77 each.

That's far too expensive and was the deciding factor to fit Trevor Bell's gearbox mounts. I did a heap of off-roading over the past two days and these mounts work very well. There's now bugger all slack in the gearbox and the Brumby felt solid over rutted and rocky terrain.

'twas a wonderful feeling after having driven with broken mounts in the past.

Trevor Bell ? I've paid 72 each in years past
