Unless your hardware stores are a lot cooler than ours, I think it would be a long shot... I'd think something more like a marine supply store or something along those lines

I used Devcon (shore 80)for mine, I got it from a trade hardware store, you should be able to find somewhere in Melbourne, just do a search.

Some people have done this with 3M window weld if you have trouble finding the liquid urethane. I did the liquid urethane to fill mine a couple of years ago and the transaxle does not budge now.

I pulled mine apart yesterday. Truly a 20 minute job if you have air and lifts. Mine had a bit of rust, so I spent some extra time sandblasting the support bar and spraying it with rustoleum to head that off.

Also, I just threw in a good condition stock mount for the time being. I'll order this urethane kit, use it to fix up my old mount then swap it back in. Thanks for the tips guys.

Only place i found it was an electrical store? (doesn't make much sense) 500g ~$80

I can't find anything else other than online stores.
What store did you get it from? probably have the same store in melbourne

Try finding 3m Window Weld. It should be available from any auto parts store.

It is used commonly as a potting compound for electric circuits/components:

So you might also try looking at electric component stores.

As I said I got it from a tradies store out in the western suburbs, it looks like Blackwoods sell it, but I don't know if they are anywhere close to you.

BUMP!

Is this noisy like a solid mount? Will this be more like the mount was new?

I didn't notice more noise in either of the cars I did this to.
Shifting felt much nicer though...and you can no longer grab the transmission and wiggle it an inch or two in either direction by hand...
