Alloy Subframe Mounts

[s2avant]

Tom,

You may have to wait for your rear set. I'll see what I can do. Can you check what size holes you need on yours for me so I can get them drilled for you.

i have steel subframe bushes, good improvement!! does make the ride harder but not as much as you would imagine

[Jeffer]

Can somebody post some pictures of these non-rubber bushings, and the way they are mounted/pressed or whatever

Thanks a lot

I'll post some pics as soon as I've got the first couple of sets. I'll also take some pics of them installed on my car when my new digicam arrives.

@Tom, Cheers, yours will be M10. I've just phoned the teachers dad and he's going to make you two sets ready for Combe.

Wahey, cool. That chassis number is quite an early beast, innit. Hope the teacher is well. Is she coming along to combe with you? Be nice to see her sober again, aswell as yourself

Right, I've finally got some pictures of the first sets of mounts to be made, standard oe mounts and the ones I have fitted on my Avant.

For some reason the forum won't let me add pictures to my post so I will have to use links instead

First off here is a slightly better diagram of where the mounts fit. The mounts are highlighted in pink as usual They are shown as different sizes on the diagram but are the same size on the car.

Here are pictures of the oe mounts:

oe mount back view

oe mount side view

Now for the alloy versions:

alloy mount side view

The side view shows how the fit on the car. One above and one below the subframe.

Here are some pictures of them on my car:

alloy mount fitted 1

alloy mount fitted 2

alloy mount fitted 3

alloy mount fitted 4

These have been on the car a month now and I've been driving it without a belly pan all that time so rain and dirt have been getting all over them. No corrosion to be seen so far

Unlike the oe mounts the alloy ones do not need to be pressed into the subframe. The bevelled edge fits the lip of the subframe above and below and forms a sandwich.

Based on the first sets I've had made it looks like they will be around £25-30 for a set for one subframe. I've got six people who want sets so far. If we can get 15-20 sets ordered then it should be around £20 a set (+P&P).

I'll post a list of who wants them in the next couple of days once I've got all the info on sizes needed etc.

Gonna be fitting them this week some time! Wil report back on ease of fitment and also any handling improvments

[NoNonsense]

I'll take one set...i'm in the USA...i'll figure out if I'm M10 or M12 in the meantime. Cheers!

I can't believe it. That dork won't even know what they are for...what a waste of society.

[s2avant]

And you haven't even paid for them yet

Seriously though that is bad, some people will nick anything that isn't bolted down. Glad they didn't steal anything else.

I've got one more spare set at the moment. I'll get the others ordered when Carly's dad is back from his holiday.

If your desperate for them I can send them down to you, or maybe you can show me and Carly the delights of Yeoville.

Let me know,

Ben
