Well, due to lack of activity here I went and ordered one from Avalon for $300 delivered. Will let you know how I get on.

Nice one Jonny - are you going to fit it yourself?

Yes. 'Should' be fairly straightforward I think. We'll see.

Let us know how easy it was to fit. You know; on ramps/jacks, or needs a four-post lift, tricky bolts, seized stuff etc etc...

If it's tricky Doug will probably tell you. He normally sorts out my <beep> (like my Autospeed DTS which
I managed to break the bolts on and he had to drill out...)

Another alternative is the Stern mount....

It is two alloy c shapes bolted together into the gap around the mount. Supposed to be a good solution. They also do polly bushes for the rear mount..

Always happy to help!

, this thread had me thinking about a set for mine so was looking about, still tempted but the chunk of plastic wedged in there, but for 50 bucks why not, 100 and you get the whole thing tightened up, bargain!

I've already got those diff mount bushes fitted and also tried the stern mount, but it gave me awful vibes through the whole car, which is why I've gone very quiet on the new diff mount.

I've just bought an ice hockey puck on fleabay for £1.99 - will give that a go!

Need a report on that when you've got it fitted - £1.99 is the kind of price I like for a mod!

Any news on the ice hockey puck mod?

Did anyone get anywhere with the rear diff mount. looking to upgrade mine now?...

Got an Apikol one in my garage. When I am allowed to go outside without a chaperone I might have a go at fitting it

Got stung by customs so it cost me nearly 200 quid all in.
