Hey Guys

Just wanted some opinions on the different options for subframe mounts. From what i can tell there are 3 options, solid, rubber and polyflex.

Is one option any better than the other? its for the van, eventually it will have an 1100 fast road engine ( don't know if that makes a difference ).

Any help as always is appreciated.

It"s only my opinion and I'm no boy racer, but I've tried the poly and rubber ones, don't seem any different. As for solid mounts, I think unless you're building a full blown racer you'd be more than happy with the rubber ones. I'm assuming its in the 1960"s van? Rovers have rubber mounts on fronts as well and they appear to be a bit problematic, they split the floor mounts.

If you are talking Australian built cars, the fronts were all solid mounted, no room for other options. UK cars were solid until 1976 too.
The rears were all rubber mounted, you can get poly bushes but IMO rubber is fine for road use. Mine's been on the car 43 years and is still good.

thanks guys

At 38 I'm not a boy racer myself, id rather spend money on getting replacement parts that function the best rather than bling or the latest thing..

I've had issues with other cars when using poly type bushes with them transferring a lot of road noise into the cabin , so will stick with the rubbers on the back..

Any one know if there is a specific fitting kit for the mini k's?

Nope, the rear rubbers are all the same. Wet, or dry...

Rear rubbers are different on Rovers. The ones at the front of the rear sub frame are bigger and softer than the older Morris style.
