Alloy Subframe Mounts

[s2avant]

Update for our American cousins.

I've looked at various options for shipping sets of bushes to the US and they all work out horribly expensive (between £45-65 for two sets!!)

Obviously this is too high so instead I was wondering if there is anyone in the states who could get them made locally if I send over one set as a pattern. This way all the US orders could be sorted without paying twice the price for shipping.

Sounds good to me, I'll see if I can find anybody in the Denver area to do it. Any other US ppl know someone who could do it?

I received my! Has anybody fitted them all on his car? Any BTDT posted so far?

alloy subframe mounts

got mine yesterday they look good ,i,m going to take the complete subframe off the car to fit the new mounts ,so thats my weekend fun thanks ben for a good group buy

I have found some machinists here that think they would be interested in doing it. They all want to see the part (or a drawing) before committing to a price. What would the cost be for one mount or a measured drawing? I do not see the point in shipping a whole set when one mount would do but if a extra mount, or drawing, is not available then I guess a set will have to do.

Another option

Your quite right about not needing a set. One mount shouldn't be a problem as I think I have one or two spare individual mounts. I would have thought I could send that as a small parcel for not a lot of money.

PM your address and I'll see what I can do. If it's only a couple of quid I'll send it FOC.

I'll machine some, i just need 8 FOC...

I'm surprised you've didn't have a set away when you came round at the weekend. Good job they're well hidden.

Do someone have picture, guide and tools needed to change the subframe mounts

[Chasman]

I'm going to anodise mine blue when I get a set.

i have the dialynx ones and they have been really good so far though I noticed a little bit of corrosion on mine the other day when i was changing the rear diff mount for the powerflex one. Might be worth coating them in something so they dont react with the other metals that they are incontact with.

How about powder coating?

Whoa, missed this one. Ben i need front set and rear set please. I think just a good old coating of copper grease should do the job, anodising is very thin and if it gets scratched then the coating is useless. Just a thought.

yep running these for about a couple of months now - luvvin it - alot tighter and sturdy round corners - does increase harshness of ride but minimul - worth the trouble....

Agreed, well worth it, my car is setup fairly stiff, and it does make the ride that bit harsher. But the turn in is well improved over the 14 year old bushes that i gragged out of it
