Default Engine mounts: OEM Porsche VS. Lindsey Ultra Mount. Any feedbacks?

It is a known 951-problem that many aftermarket engine mounts will not last as long as the OEM porsche mounts.
Any feedbacks on Lindsey Ultra Mount when it comes to longevity / vibration / flex?
Thanks.

I was able to hunt down a set of OEM mounts that were reasonably priced (new in box).

I put some Ultra mounts on the car a couple of years ago. Mileage on them is still pretty low, so can really report longevity. Happy with them though, my OEMs were shot, so it was a huge improvement in terms of vibration at idle. Seem to be very well designed and manufactured. Running a solid trans mount with them.

Yep, the self locking nuts are useless if at least three threads are NOT showing beyond the nut.

Cheers,

No the length of bolt is longer than what is pictured. There is about a 1/4 inch of thread past the end of the nut. I installed it on my car since it was cheaper than a stock mount.

Thats the pic from the tech garage where above it it says:

"Place the mount inside the steel transmission hanger as shown. Make sure the orientation of the adapter bracket is the same as originally positioned. A 10mm flat washer and lock nut are placed on the outside of the hanger as shown. The other hardware remains stacked up just like you see in the above pictures. Tighten securely the 10mm lock nuts. "

Correct?

While I was looking at the mounts on Lindsey, I found this gem:



I hope all their mounts are not like that. The extra money for the nylon locknuts are worthless with no thread engagement. :P
