How To: DIY filled motor mounts

[oki_boy]

i wonder if we could get place racing to make full replacements....

nice silicone implants

Moved.

sounds like a cool cheap mod to do front mount and #3 but if it seperates after a little while i wont do silicone... prob choose a thicker paste and really shove a good amount in there... think that will last longer?

But in about two weeks once the urethane separated from the center ring my engine started lashing like hell again and the shifting became a b**** aswell because of the engine movement. So now I'm ready to buy Kooldino's MM inserts.

With some luck I'll be able to start selling a driver's side mount as well.

But as for the old window weld trick - it's a cheap, easy mod, but it's sloppy, doesn't typically last, and isn't the best way to go.

sory for bein so late to this thread but has anyone done this to the rear motor mount? i no this is for the front one but has anyone done it n is it hard to remove the rear one?

What about JB Weld? I'd think that would make for one stuff mount.

 

[jred321]

too stiff, you need some flexibility still, jbweld is like metal

AWR... Worth the money...

This is all very interesting. Will this still work if your stock mount is already torn inside?

use a torch and blow out the old rubber completely and fill the eintire thing with window weld

i used window weld. It's very very messy, but it's durable and works really well after it dries.

after all any of this stuff could be trimmed if its a real mess???

 

[iluvmacs]

The window weld could easily be drilled to make some air holes. You can take a knife to it too.

i just finished doing the mount with window weld. i found it was easy, clean and made with incredable results! no more hop, or slipping.

 

[iluvmacs]

I still have some hop, but after doing all 4 mounts is pretty much controllable. I found that all the engine vibration is gone now that I've finished too.

im doing my side mounts this weekend

I was just wondering if anyone who has used to window weld has had it last? I've just broken my top (Left) mount and I want to fill the new one in with something to make it a bit better.

chris, see my vBGarage...

i used a product that is specifically for joining rubber, (KS Bond) i just used a s*** load of it, and then baked it to half set... then i installed it back on the car, and waited...

your top mounts don't seem to have the same importance in holding the engine from what i can see...

having one top mount broken would probably show your accelerating reasonably hard!!! i'd put it on as a good bet you have broken your front engine mount... watch the way it rocks when you pull the throttle cable!!!

I did mine separately, a couple of weeks apart. The first one I did 3 months ago has held up perfectly.

I had a problem with one (the front one) because I drove too soon after I did it. The motor moved and pushed a bit of the window weld out, but it's still pretty solid. I ended up cutting that glob off to make it look flat.
