Speaking only for myself, sticking my head in the sand about such things is not something I tend to excel at.

SeanR

And exactly what have you contributed aside from noise? Do you feel my initial question was not legitimate?

bureau13

So what? That IS what solid motor mounts are generally used for, so it would be an easy assumption to add that part in the explanation.

Forget it...it's not worth the debate. My point was simply that despite some noise, the informational content of the thread is better for the discussion, especially for some of us newbies. Feel free to disagree.

y33trekker

Your initial question, no.

Some of your subsequent comments. Yes.

But let's be honest. You now trying to attack me to distract from the observation I made about the attitude you were displaying earlier is simply more noise. You may not like those kinds of observations/contributions, but you not liking them doesn't make them inaccurate.

y33trekker

Well when you're trying to change the why of how some of the less civil comments originated after the fact, I agree, it's no longer worth the debate.

We simply seem to disagree on some of the legitimacy of the noise.

Feel free to disagree also though.

For once I will respectfully disagree with Dr. Bob as I found the overall information both informative and very focused on the original question. Some of the "noise" was also entertaining as well.
It is a discussion forum after-all!!!

SeanR

If he had answered that he was putting them in a race car, I'd have said go for it and the discussion would have gone in a different direction.

You think I'm attacking you now? That skin must be very thin. You said I was just making noise and I quoted you showing that that is all you've done here. As you no doubt have zero experience with engine mounts on a 928 where I might have changed one or two.

Just calling a spade a spade buddy. You will get over it.

y33trekker

Do you usually try to justify your actions with red-herring defenses?
Apparently you don't know when you're doing it because you just did it again.
In your opinion anyway.
Irrelevant since the OP had the right to ask about whatever specific type of 928 motor mounts he wanted to.
That's what I'm doing. From what I've seen though, I doubt you will. Some of you guys seem pretty intent on maintaining your personal/professional grudges.

SeanR

You really are trying too hard here.

The OP asked about a specific mount, those mounts are typical reserved for a specific use so I wanted clarification of his intent. Just because you learned nothing from this thread doesn't mean hundreds of others didn't.

As to Carl, he and I have a a perfect professional relationship. I refuse to install any parts he's had his hands on and he refuses to sell them to me. Works out great. It's from years of experience and when someone gives out bad advice, then it's going to get called out here. Usually by multiple people.

y33trekker

I would simply say the same about you.

The point being that the OP asked about a specific type of mount. His reasons/preferences are his and his alone.

You remember that "attack" thing we were talking about earlier? Yeah, you're doing it again.

Learning nothing indeed.

Again...in your opinion anyway...and you know what multiple people have said about those...

hacker-pschorr

This isn't the usual topic to spur such nonsense chatter - sorry for the distraction, thread has been cleaned up a bit...

Please keep it on point from here on out or enjoy some time off.

y33trekker

Apparently, some people just can't handle/appreciate a fair fight.

dr bob

I also enjoy good discussion. I disdain the deterioration into a mud-slinging that includes valued contributors sparring over the value of their own opinions, rather than focusing on the question asked.

Point was/is that the responses include a ton of speculation and an ounce of experience. The OP was looking for actual experience. Guessing he was already speculating. Or he wouldn't have asked specifically for experience. Speculators: keep an eye peeled for a "what do you think about using solid motor mounts?" thread.

Back to your regularly-scheduled programs...

Mrspencer

I have solid rubber mounts from 928 motorsports, my car is new car smooth when driving, my factory mounts were collapsed and the vibration was horrible .thanks 928motorsports. Very pleased.

Rocinante

Do our valued vendors also carry motor mounts for the pre-'83 cars?
