Uprated Gearbox Engine Mount Insert

Having previously (in 2012) filled the original gearbox side engine mount with sikaflex to stiffen it and reduce movement due to the lack of an uprated gearbox mount, Powerflex brought out (in early 2013) a polyurethane gearbox mount insert having been asked to manufacture it by Courtenay Sport. This insert reduces the movement in the factory mount and the black insert shown here is the race/track spec stiffest mount manufactured out of 95 Shore A material. Since Powerflex sent me an insert to try out, a new OE side mount and the uprated insert have been fitted to the car.

This mount makes a massive improvement in reducing flex in the factory mount and really compliments the other Vibra Technics mounts well.
