Chillidoggy Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Why you would need stiffer mounts? Quote Margate Exotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cor Posted June 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 The engine is shaking too much to my liking. Even after mounting new standard mounts. I have mounted a charge cooler which touches the hood during acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydclements Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 With the washers in place above and below, there should not really be a lot of movement, yes it will oscillate but if you tighten this up then you'll just end up with that oscillation being transferred to the whole car.

cor Posted June 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 I will chec if it is done properly. What is the difference between the different colours: Red is the stiffest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to correct a problem that didn’t exist before you mounted the charge-cooler? 1 Quote Margate Exotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like there’s something wrong with the running of that engine. Mine just sits purring. 2 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cor Posted June 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 John, finally had some time to investigate, gearbox mounts are very bad which I will replace first. Everyone thanks for your input!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDangerUS Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 In addition, you can fit an engine torque damper (plenty on eBay). You'd have to make some custom brackets. Quote MrDangerUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
