Just a data point, no reason for ruffled feathers. Its the way we get an idea for the size of a problem once a problem is known. I've got a set of Rogers MM's sitting in a box waiting for install, and despite the worries other than a squish test in a vise I plan to use them.

We have seen about 12 sets of failures so far. These were not from one batch but a number of batches going back to late 2009.
This will aslo include MM's sold via other sources. Any Anchor/Corteco MM is suspect.
Failure will equally be seen when the MM's are fitted to the original application - Ford trucks.

I wouldn't be worried about if it was a 4 cylinder the mount was on before. If you look at the internals of the Porsche mount compared to the internals of the rest of these, they appear the same. This volvo mount appears to have more rubber and better folding than the P one. I'm not a stress engineer, but the beefier one would be my choice.
That's the reason I was real comfortable putting the solid Fords on, might not be as smooth as a hydraulic, but it wasn't going to collapse as easy.
