This is something unknown to me , although it has been an item used by many to replace the NLA trans mounts. I have looked at numerous pics of the 911 motor mount , Sport ?? and std , can't tell much difference except the price (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) . Could someone here explain to me the pros and cons of each , I really don't want to use the solid mounts I have and I am not at the transmission installing stage yet , just want some experienced information conncerning the 911 motor mounts before getting a set. Thanks for any replies.

IIRC they are the same as the stock mounts, a direct replacement.
http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopca..._pg3.htm#item17 the alternative besides the 911 mounts and solid mounts is the WEVO mounts... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=28186 |

stock:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-8112-1240450643_thumb.jpg) 911 sport mounts: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-8112-1240450735_thumb.jpg) the 911 unit has more of a solid center/design to hold things in place. |

The price of them doesn't tell me much other than one set costs more than the other one. They appear to be very similar , just don't know if the club sport is any better than the standard mount. Thanks for the replies. Jaxdream |

The better choice all around. Just make sure you're still using the big metal bracket on top. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy Attached image(s)

QUOTE(RJMII @ Oct 7 2009, 12:31 AM) What happens if you don't? You've got the weight of the tranny hanging off those two mounts. I suppose it's possible to pull the bolt through the rubber if you don't use either the stock bracket or some sort of large, thick washer on top. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |

has anyone tried the superpro mounts from fulcrum?
these are an australian made product and we sell them at the shop i work at in australia. i have a set of front end bushes to try as well as the mounts but i am told you have to cut out the original rubber and use the metal housing with the new bushes in them. i am reluctant to cut the old mounts just now but i am sure they will fit right. they are in the online catalogue which can be found at http://www.fulcrumsuspensions.com.au/superpro.html the part number you are looking for is SPF1375K but the cat searches based on car as well. heard good things about the front end bushes after a test by one of the guys in GT Purely Porsche a while back. cheers edwin |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy on my 911 sport mounts, it seemed as if the top of mount had a large metal washer built into it; that was larger diameter than the inner part of the concave sleeve that houses the rubber part of the mount. It hasn't fallen out so far... but I think I'll double check really soon just to make sure it isn't some sort of luck keeping it in there. I've got one out in the shop that I can look at and take pics of tomorrow. |
