Alloy subframe mounts issue...

[mcandmar]

I had a query before about the rear sub frame using different bushings to the front, turns out the larger bushings are slightly taller on the rear sub frame,

Front Sub frame Rear Sub frame

857 199 415 B 857 199 415 B
857 199 419 B 857 199 419 C

In the piccy I have two new rear sub frame bushings sitting along side the alloy mounts, note they are upside down so the bulge part at the bottom sits between the sub frame and the body of the car.

In short I added a few large washers to make up the difference in height, without doing so it will fit fine except the sub frame and diff sit a few MM higher in the car and even closer to the exhaust over the inner driveshaft flange.

Mark.

Can someone please post dimensions of the Alloy sub frame mounts. I think i got wrong parts. Please all dimension incl. the hole in the middle.

Something we have addressed, we have also done thicker still to allow for larger exhausts to go over the back axle.
There are also offset items for the front subframe (034 manufacture these) for better geometry and to allow for some big *** downpipeage to poke through

Corey can you maybe give the dimentions of the alloy ones? These are for RS2 front.

I think the hole in the middle is incorrect.

I can sell you the correct ones for your chassis, they are hard anodised to protect against any material migration bewteen the dissimilar metals.
You dimension's though are not enough to produce the alloy mounts, the sharp corners would lead to stress points and lead to an early failiure.

[Billman]

The problem is through a wrong order i got now the alloy mounts. The measurements are rough measures from me. I think they did not bore the right holes in the midlle of them. The edges are all rounded etc and many people in Germany are using them for over 3 years now.

I was thinking of going PU but they could not cancel my alloy order so now i am going to give them a go.

[Corey]

Who did you get the alloy ones from?

[Billman]

his Name is Gerd and he lives in germany. He makes them himself for his own car. The peopel who driving with his PU are very pleased. I think that mine where just sent wrong.

He only has front wishbone bushes and subframe.

If someone has a Sub frame outside the car and could measure the mount sits then it would also do the job.

Thanks

AFAIK they are all the same except for the bolt hole in the middle, i think late model S2's had a larger bolt. Something like 12mm vs 10mm.

[Billman]

Maybe he send me then the S2 mounts (older models) and not RS2. Then only widening this hole will make it fit.

sorry to hijack thread but i need rear subframe bushes. what are the part nos and any one got instructions to do it??

thanks
