Okay so ANOTHER centre exhaust mount busted. 
This time it split the rubber not the metal. I know how it happened and given the circumstances it is not something i wouldnt have expected to happen. Just letting you know. PS what are centre mounts worth these days??

Yeah i was flexing mega hard thru a roundabout and yeah the power off and then power back on must have flexed the system bit too much. Time for a flexi-joint in the system methinks! |

Will Gormly, if you would stop trying to run over every cat, pot hole and tree branch in the neihbourhood your exhaust mount would last heaps longer

I was having heaps of trouble with the standard mini stuff. It's ridiculous, i mean the system looks like it's only designed with lateral give in it, even though being a front wheel drive, all the movement in the zorst is front to back!!! We solved the problems by fitting 2 new mounts. the Middle is the Diamond shaped rubber block with two holes allowing front to back movement easily (off a volvo - not the greatest description and i don't have a photo sorry). The back was done with two commodore (and probably countless other modern cars) style figure 8 rubber hooks. Simple, effective, and if I do break them, they're cheap as chips to replace (actually carry spares!!) |
