Great question Seb - I'm also keen to hear. Seems like a perfect mod if engine being dropped anyways, right?

The blue mounts are from TRG

why would you replace them unless they are worn out?

Seb, they are the same. If it has the TRG mounts just smile and leave them in.

Those mounts do not have many hours on them but they can wear out by having the holes become oval. Actually any solid mount is more likely to wear out faster than the oem.

fit the Wevo mounts, best of both road and track plus should they wear out, cheap as chips to replace just the bush and not entire unit like others.

+1

I'm not sure that I would go with full solid in the back and rubberized at the gearbox... but that's just me.

Don't quote me, but from memory, I think that the cup is a different set up as the blade is different??? I would need to check.
