Default engine mount advise wanted

Hey,

After some research after the vibrations at 1500 rpm i found out about the engine mounts. Little side note, ganne do transmission mounts aswell just to be sure.

Thing is this, the porsche ones are in back order for atleast 2 months. And rather expanisve 270ish euros.

So then i came across the volvo mounts. most people seem satisfeid by them. But i have no idea what type/year they are.

Then the ford fx 35 i believe? Same problem as above but i find alot less info about this option.

So what is the best option to do, or perhaps any other alternatives i dont know about?

Some details 88s4 auto and not certain if over sea shipping is a good option deu to bad euro to doller ratio and i was planning to do it next week.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

This is your guy, Roger Tyson:

Even if you are in Europe, like me, or anywhere else, the prices and quality of the service will compensate!
Forget about his website, call him or email him, you will be very well served, this is just my opinion that bought several times from him.

Regards

I will 2nd calling Roger (for the 2nd post in a row, no less).

He has the Volvo mounts, and he grinds off the pin that they come with that needs to be removed.

I installed a set 2 years ago and couldn't be happier.

I recently put a pair of Volvo mounts on my 88. Got them from Roger. I thought I had the finger and hook rubbing issue, but it turned out to be an exhaust clamp just behind the CAT, elevated by the slightly taller mounts, and contacting the under-body heat shield. Rotated the clamp and was amazed how smooth and quiet the driveline is. I also swapped the trans mounts. Very pleased with the results.
