    Don't have any left I'm afraid, last set went on my coupe quattro.

    No problem to get more of them but these are not the definitive answer to top mount issues so don't know if I should order more.
    If you still want a set I believe shipping was €15,- for a set.

      I have a set on the car at the moment and they definitely seem to be more resilient than the oem Blue or Green tops. As you say not the last word but for me at least, they have outlasted anything else I have ever fitted without going exotic/motorsport direction.

      I think if a small disc of rubber or delrin/etc could be inserted into the void above the bearing with a hole for the strut to pass through, then that would help resist the collapse even further but I'm no engineer

        the 'delrin disc' suggestion is in effect the method that Mance used for his Mountsavers....2 rings, one urethane, one alloy , inserted into OEM e mount just inside the inner edge of the bowl....this stops over-flex of the rubber and preserves the integrity of the mount....mine have been on ( at the rear, cos I have PMs with MS's inbuilt on front ) for 18months now and no knock whatsoever
        Once again, I am surprised that no-one has ever knocked up a run of these over here, I dont think Mance pataented them and in anyh case he's packed in making them now

          any photos or basic dimensions would be useful. I may try to cook up something for personal use as an interim solution

            have a look at this link, without pulling mine out of the rear suspn I can't measure them, but you get the gist of size and how they fit....its the alloy and red rings only, forget the rest of the stuff in the pic cos this is a photo of them installed in his Promounts ( spherical bearings in an otherwise OEM mount ) , the urethane ring is not quite as quite hard as delrin, but only just flexible, alloy ring sits on top of urethane, slot both in to mount .
            I reckon each ring is approx 3mm thick, you can get the diameter by measuring the inside of the mount , snug fit/press in with a bit of silicone grease

                        I got the last bunch from Mance while i was in the US last year... Only sets left are counted for though i can show you a set on tuesday if you like David.

                        I dont think it will be long until there is an equivalent offering in the UK.

                            Mance is happy for someone to continue making the mount savers. He does not plan to make any more.

                              I can laser the rings from titanium if you give me the dimensions.

                                Ross, did he have any of his Promounts left ?...last I heard he had a box of them half ready but due to illness wasn't planning on completing them. Fortunately I got a pair just before his last hospitalisation
